Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire intensified sharply across Lebanon on Friday, despite mounting talk of impending negotiations, with southern regions bearing the brunt of the escalation and ground operations expanding around the town of Bint Jbeil.

Israeli forces have encircled the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil in a bid to eliminate Hezbollah operatives and regain control over the area, Israeli media reported Thursday. Estimates suggest that dozens, possibly hundreds, of Hezbollah fighters—including members of the elite Radwan Force—are stationed in the town, long considered a key stronghold for the Iran-backed militia.

This last week marked the anniversary of the rescue of my late father, Amer Fakhoury, a Lebanese-born Christian, by our government from Beirut, where he had been unlawfully detained for seven months by Hezbollah. His case was not an isolated incident, but rather a revealing moment that exposed a deeper and more troubling reality within Lebanon’s political and security landscape.

On March 2, Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel – though the decision for it to do so was almost certainly made by Iran – carrying Lebanon into a new war with Israeli forces. On the same day, Lebanon's government declared Hezbollah's military and security activities illegal. Shortly thereafter, army commander General Rodolphe Haykal made it clear to Prime Minister Nawaf Salam that the military did not have the means to implement the government's decision. Now, the Lebanese army finds itself in an uncomfortable position.

The newly-rebranded RB team have unveiled their 2024 challenger – the VCARB 01 – at a glittering launch event in Las Vegas.
It has been all change for the Faenza-based squad for 2024, after they brought their AlphaTauri era to a close following the conclusion of last season, and that change includes their livery.
While AlphaTauri’s design predominantly showcased dark blue and white, the new RB will sport a sparkling blue and white livery as its new colours – harking back to some of the designs seen when the team was known as Toro Rosso.
Driver duo Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda were also on hand as part of the launch, which featured entertainment from the likes of singer-songwriter Kendrick Lamar, and the multi-award winning rapper and record producer, Baby Keem.
Also on stage at the event, alongside Ricciardo and Tsunoda, was Amna Al-Qubaisi, who will be carrying the team's colours in F1 Academy this year.
Of course, the car isn’t the only thing that's fresh at RB, with new Team Principal Mekies taking charge following the retirement of long-serving boss Franz Tost.
There’s also been a host of changes to the operation ahead of this year’s campaign, with three experienced technical and trackside personnel signing on recently.
One of those is Alan Permane – who departed Alpine as their Sporting Director midway through last season – as he takes up the role of Racing Director. Tim Goss will also take on the role of Chief Technical Officer in October, while Guillaume Cattelani joined the team as Deputy Technical Director, reporting to Technical Director Jody Egginton.
What will be a familiar sight for RB is their driver pairing – with both Ricciardo and Tsunoda turning out for the team once more.
The duo will be hoping for a more successful season, with AlphaTauri finishing P8 in the constructors’ last year. Ricciardo in particular will want a smoother campaign, having started 2023 away from the F1 grid before his dramatic return was halted by a broken hand after the summer break.
