Newly unsealed court documents related to Jeffrey Epstein contain testimony from Epstein's former house manager claiming Donald Trump visited Epstein but never got massages at his home. The staffer, Juan Alessi, said Prince Andrew was a frequent guest at Epstein's Florida estate and received "daily massages" during visits that would last for weeks. In contrast, Alessi said Trump only came for dinner occasionally, never stayed overnight, and didn't get massages since he had his own spa facilities. The claims come from a lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted last year for her role in Epstein's sex trafficking ring.

For the second time since September 2022, a plane carrying Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau broke down during an official trip, forcing the deployment of a backup aircraft.

The aircraft Trudeau uses is 36 years old and has caused issues before, highlighting the need for new planes.

Lebanese armed group Hezbollah launched 62 rockets, hitting a crucial Israeli observation post. This move is deemed a "preliminary response" to the recent killing of Hamas' deputy chief, Saleh al-Arouri, in an Israeli drone strike. Analysts suggest the strike may serve as a message to Hezbollah about the vulnerability of its prime stronghold, Dahiyeh, to Israeli attacks. Hezbollah, vowing not to let the killing go unpunished, emphasizes the need to address the strike to prevent Lebanon's broader vulnerability. The Israeli military has not yet issued a response to the reported attack.

Newly unsealed court documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case claim that Prince Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles III, participated in an orgy involving "numerous underaged girls" on Epstein's private island.

Prince Andrew has previously denied any wrongdoing or having a relationship with Giuffre. The documents stem from Giuffre's lawsuit against the UK royal. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex crimes, and Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.

The US State Department is offering rewards up to $10 million for information leading to the disruption of Hamas's financial networks. The bounty targets five Hamas financiers based in Sudan, Turkey, and Qatar who have funneled tens of millions to the militant group. They were previously designated as global terrorists by the US. The rewards aim to cut off revenue streams funding Hamas's violent actions against Israel. Over 1,200 Israelis and 22,600 Gazans have died in recent clashes.
