An Israeli Air Force AH-64 Apache attack helicopter fires rockets while flying along the border between northern Israel and southern Lebanon on March 18, 2026. The Israeli military said it planned to strike bridges and crossings over the Litani River in southern Lebanon on March 18 to disrupt what it said were Hezbollah arms-smuggling routes. Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war on March 2 when militant group Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel to avenge the killing of Iran's supreme leader.

(L/R) US Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Republican from South Dakota, and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Republican from Louisiana, hold a news conference at the US Captiol on the tenth day of the federal government shutdown on October 10, 2025, in Washington, DC. The US government shutdown looked set to extend into a third week as senators again rejected a Republican funding bill on October 9 despite President Donald Trump's attempts to turn the thumbscrews on opposition Democrats. Federal agencies have been out of money since October 1 and public services have been crippled amid stalled talks between the two sides that have led to a series of near-daily failed votes to turn the lights back on.
