Middle East

At least 40 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes in eastern Lebanon on Wednesday, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. The strikes targeted areas in the Baalbek and Bekaa regions, which Israeli officials say were aimed at Hezbollah operatives. 

Human rights activists are calling for the release of a woman detained in Tehran after she removed her clothes in an apparent protest. A video shared on social media showed the woman sitting in her underwear on the steps of the university before walking away. In another clip, she is seen removing more clothing before being forced into a car by plainclothes agents.
