13.10.2024 ⇢ The day of the thwarted assassination and the caught rocket
⌨
SpaceX achieved a milestone by successfully catching the Starship rocket booster mid-air during its fifth test flight. Later, Israeli tanks reportedly forced entry into a UN peacekeepers' facility in south Lebanon, escalating tensions in the region. The situation worsened when over 60 people were injured in a drone attack on northern Israel. In a concerning development, a man with guns and fake passports was arrested outside a Trump rally in California, with authorities suggesting it was a potential assassination attempt. This marks the third such incident targeting the former president. Meanwhile, UK political news focused on Labour's stance on domestic abuse and the Conservative Party's leadership prospects. The day concluded with reports of four Israeli soldiers killed and over 60 injured in a Hezbollah drone attack, further intensifying the regional conflict.
