Hezbollah rockets hit the Golan Heights after Israeli attacks in Lebanon

Hezbollah has fired dozens of rockets into the occupied Golan Heights following Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon, as fears of an all-out war grow. The Israeli military said it struck Hezbollah weapons in the Bekaa Valley overnight. Lebanon's health ministry said one person was killed and 30 others injured. In response, Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, said it had targeted Israeli military positions in the Golan with a missile bombardment. Israeli authorities said two houses were hit and one person was injured. Palestinian Fatah has accused Israel of killing a senior member of its armed wing in Lebanon in an attempt to ignite a regional conflict. The Israeli military said it killed Khalil al-Makdah in an attack in the southern port city of Sidon because he was acting on behalf of Iran's Revolutionary Guard and was involved in attacks and arms trafficking in the occupied West Bank. It would be the first attack against a member of Fatah since the start of the Gaza war, which led to an escalation of cross-border hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. Tensions have risen in recent weeks after Israel killed a senior Hezbollah official in Beirut, who it accused of killing 12 children in a missile attack. So far, more than 530 people have been killed in Lebanon, including at least 130 civilians, and 49 people in Israel, including 26 civilians. Almost 200,000 people were also displaced on both sides of the border. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told troops on Tuesday that the army's "center of gravity" was gradually shifting from Gaza to the Lebanese border. "The attack on the ammunition depots in Lebanon is a preparation for anything that can happen," he said. On Wednesday morning, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that planes had struck overnight several Hezbollah weapons storage facilities in the northern Bekaa Valley - a stronghold of the group - as well as a compound used by an air defense system. The Israeli military also said it targeted a Hezbollah fighter in the southern border village of Beit Lif. Lebanon's health ministry said the attacks in the Bekaa region claimed one victim, whose identity has not been released, and that nine children were among the 30 injured. The Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) reported that the attacks targeted the outskirts of the city of Bodai, the area between Saraain and Safri, and Nabi Chit. The Ministry of Health also said that a man was killed in Beit Lif, while Hezbollah confirmed the death of a fighter from the village named Hussein Mostafa.

Biden and Netanyahu also discussed ongoing US efforts to strengthen Israel's defenses against threats from Iran, including its proxy groups Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. This includes the current US military deployment in the region, which has been increased in response to rising tensions.

Central force takes over security at Kolkata hospital as fear continues

The recognition of the central force comes after the Supreme Court yesterday questioned the Kolkata Police's response when a mob attacked the RG Kar Medical University and Hospital.

Senior officers of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), who guard airports and Parliament, visited the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata this morning for the recognition. The paramilitary force was tasked with securing the public hospital after a shocking incident of vandalism following the rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor shocked the nation. Senior CISF officer K Pratap Singh, who visited the hospital this morning, told the media: "We are doing our job. We have come here on a mission. We will finish the job, then senior officers will inform you . I am doing my duty as ordered by higher authority.”

The recognition of the central force comes after the Supreme Court yesterday questioned the response of the city police when a mob attacked the hospital in the early hours of August 15 and damaged medical equipment and supplies in two floors. The mob violence occurred during a "night shoot" demonstration in Kolkata and several other cities to demand justice for the doctor. "We cannot understand how the state was not prepared to deal with the hospital vandalism incident," the Supreme Court said yesterday.

The court noted that most of the hospital's doctors had left the campus after the August 15 mob violence. It is necessary to create a safe environment for doctors to return and treat patients. Advocate General Tushar Mehta later assured the court that central forces would guard the place. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the West Bengal government, said he had no objection.

A large protest took place in the hospital to demand justice for the victim of the horrible rape and murder.

The sixth day of interrogation of the former director

Sandip Ghosh, ex-principal of RG Kar Medical College, visited the CBI office in Kolkata this morning for the sixth round of questioning in the investigation of this heinous crime. Mr. Ghosh, whose handling of the situation after the discovery of the doctor's body in a seminar hall on August 9 has come under scrutiny, refused to respond to media queries. In the last five days, Sandip Ghosh was interrogated for a total of 64 hours, according to CBI officials.

Separately, the Bengal government formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe allegations of financial irregularities during Sandip Ghosh's tenure as director of the state institution.

3 officers are suspended for vandalism

Red-faced after the Supreme Court's remarks on the police response during the mob attack, the Bengal government has now suspended three officers in connection with the vandalism incident.

Among the suspended police officers are two deputy superintendents of police, sources told news agency PTI. "Three officers have been suspended... "Two of them are sub-superintendents of police and one is an inspector," said an official, adding that further investigations into the matter are underway.

Doctors still live in fear

The AFP news agency spoke to female doctors who protested at the hospital. One of them was on night shift, like the victim, just two days before the incident. "I was on night shift just two days before this incident," he said. "What he did is what we all do: rest when we can, where we are."
