Israel’s military carried out a limited airstrike on southern Lebanon on Monday morning, killing two, after striking several Hezbollah targets Sunday.

Israel wants to “hurt Hezbollah” but not “drag the region into an all-out war,” a senior Israeli official said Monday, while other officials said the response would be “limited but significant.”

🤔 Biden Announces Aspirational ‘Bold Reforms’ for US Supreme Court

Biden has endorsed sweeping changes to the Supreme Court, calling for 18-year term limits for the justices and a binding, enforceable ethics code for the high court.

He is also pushing for a constitutional amendment that would prohibit blanket immunity for presidents.

However, the calls face mighty long odds of being implemented as they require congressional approval and the Republican-controlled House is unlikely to support the moves.

🎯 UK ‘Desperately Exposed’ to Cyber-Threats and Pandemics – Govt Minister

The UK science secretary has warned Britain is “desperately exposed” to cyber-threats and the upheaval of another pandemic, claiming that national resilience suffered “catastrophically” under the previous government.

Deep public spending cuts under the austerity programme diminished the NHS and other local and national services, and hampered pandemic preparedness exercises, Peter Kyle told The Guardian.

“National resilience suffered terribly, catastrophically,” he said. “The open warfare of the previous government prevented any kind of progress in these areas and left our country desperately exposed not just to a future pandemic but also to cybersecurity issues.”
