⌨
Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 storm, causing widespread destruction and claiming lives as it moved northward into Georgia. The death toll rose throughout the day, with flooding and infrastructure damage reported. Meanwhile, the Israel-Hezbollah conflict escalated dramatically. Netanyahu addressed the UN, declaring Israel was "winning" despite ongoing ceasefire talks. Hours later, Israel launched massive airstrikes on Beirut, reportedly targeting Hezbollah's headquarters and its leader, Hassan Nasrallah. The strikes killed at least six people and injured dozens, prompting fears of further escalation. In UK news, two 12-year-old boys were sentenced for a machete murder, becoming Britain's youngest killers since the James Bulger case. Actress Dame Maggie Smith passed away at 89, prompting tributes from across the entertainment world.
