Israeli assault kills Hezbollah commander, Trump assassination attempt foiled
It happened while you were sleeping. Here’s what global agencies reported overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday.
- Hezbollah confirmed overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday that one of its high-ranking commanders, Ibrahim Kubaisi, was killed on Tuesday in an Israeli attack on a suburb of Beirut. In a published statement, Shiite Hezbollah informed that "Commander Ibrahim Mohammed Kobeissi," who was "martyred on the road to Jerusalem," which, as AFP agency emphasizes, is an expression used by this group for its members who fall as a result of an Israeli attack. The Israeli army continues to intensify attacks on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon; however, innocent bystanders are also dying in these attacks.
- Suspected of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump, 58-year-old Ryan Routh was charged with trying to kill the presidential candidate, the federal prosecutor’s office reported. Earlier, Routh was charged with illegal possession of a firearm, having been previously convicted of a felony, and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number. The prosecutor’s office has ruled that Routh must remain in custody until the court trial. The lawyers’ request to release him on bail was rejected. Routh has not yet announced whether he pleads guilty or considers himself innocent.
