Israel Defense Forces troops uncovered an underground tunnel complex used by Hezbollah to store weapons in southern Lebanon. An Israeli official said on Sunday that the return of normal civilian life in northern Israel along the border with Lebanon is the way "to truly defeat Hezbollah." "In order to truly defeat Hezbollah—because militarily, we have already won, and our victory is very clear—to truly win, to achieve long-term victory, is to have many residents living here (northern Israel), vast tourism, to reopen the restaurants and cafes that used to be here, to have people coming to cycle, agriculture flourishing—everything thriving," Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of the General Staff, LTG Herzi Halevi, said while visiting southern Lebanon. "This is a long-term victory. And the state must step in and strongly reinforce this responsibility," he added. Fox News confirmed that Halevi had conducted a situational assessment on Sunday in southern Lebanon with the Commanding Officer of the Northern Command, MG Ori Gordin; the Commanding Officer of the 146th Division, BG Yiftach Norkin; the Commanding Officer of the 300th Brigade, COL Omri Rosenkrantz; and other senior officers.

Iran tells IAEA to investigate Israeli nukes instead of focusing on nonexistent Iranian onesA lot has changed since Natalie Bassingthwaighte's star first rose in the early-to-mid-2000s, but she is . or signup to continue reading Natalie will star in Shirley Valentine, a one-woman play about a housewife stuck in a world of routine who finds herself during a trip to Greece. Affectionately known as Nat Bass, the 49-year-old singer and has never led a life of routine but said Shirley's journey still resonated deeply with her. "It just has this kind of essence of creating your own destiny and making decisions for and finding yourself again after having children, your children leaving home, being married. "I think we all have that. It is not just women; men and women ... Trying to come back to self, I guess ... but also a new discovery as well." Natalie's journey to self-discovery is a poignant one. She has spoken openly about her struggles with mental health over the years. She separated from her husband and Rogue Traders bandmate Cameron McGlinchey in August 2023. In November of the same year, she went public about her relationship with her new partner, Pip Loth. The announcement of her union with Loth, who is non-binary, sparked an angry backlash from social media trolls. "It was so difficult because I feel like no one should have the right to be able to comment on anyone's joy in a negative way," she said. "It's hard enough to be in this industry, to have children and a family and to, you know, be in this space, but to have to then sort of announce it publicly and then defend yourself, it's not fun." Despite the challenges of dealing with the ugly backlash, Natalie says she is in a great space. Her family life is good; she and McGlinchey remain on excellent terms, and for every negative comment, there were many more positive ones. At almost 50, Natalie still looks great. So, how does she keep herself in shape mentally and physically amidst a hectic work schedule? She exercises as much as possible and particularly enjoys pilates and walking. She eats well, takes vitamins, tries to ensure she is getting sleep, and is a big reader, especially of biographies. She also meditates for 10 minutes each morning and 10 minutes every night. "A lot of people get scared of meditation ... a few years ago, I couldn't think of anything worse. I didn't even know how to do it ... I persevered with it." "You just have to not think that it's meditation and that you're just listening to someone's voice telling you a story. Quite quickly, you can get very grounded and very good at being able to switch off whenever you need it, wherever you are." While she has maintained a breakneck pace over the years, she said she would like to strike a balance over the next 10 years, continuing to find great work opportunities and spending more time at home. Natalie is excited about starring in Shirley Valentine. While she has performed extensively on stage, this will be her first one-woman show, and she is looking forward to the challenge of captivating an audience single-handedly. She is also a huge fan of Willy Russell's script. "I think the thing that I loved about it [most was], it was so funny. The writing is beautiful. It's life-affirming. It's heartwarming."

With many games designed to be cozy, relaxed and lighthearted, accompanying your cozy afternoons with a game might be your new holiday tradition. Many holidays bring together friends and family as well. While some families may look forward to feuding over the Risk board or resources in Settlers of Catan, more low-key games can be an opportunity to bond with loved ones.

Japan's famous sake joins UNESCO's cultural heritage list, a boost to brewers and enthusiastsAlyssa Nakken, the first woman coach in Major League Baseball history, is leaving the Giants to join the Cleveland Guardians as an assistant in player development, as first reported by 95.7 The Game’s Steven Rissotto. Nakken is the latest member of last year’s coaching staff to depart from the team, joining Justin Viele (Rangers), Pedro Guerrero (Marlins) and Bryan Price (stepped down). Additionally, Pete Putila, the team’s general manager in 2023 and 2024, and Michael Schwartze, the team’s former director of baseball analytics, have joined the Braves. In Cleveland, Nakken will be reunited with a pair of former Giants coaches in Craig Albernaz and Kai Correa. Under Stephen Vogt, the 2024 American League Manager of the Year, Albernaz is an associate manager while Correa is a field instructor. Nakken, 34, made no shortage of history during her five seasons with the team. On April 12, 2022, Nakken became the first woman to appear in an on-field role, coaching first base after former first base coach Antoan Richardson was ejected. Last offseason, the Giants interviewed Nakken for their vacant manager opening after firing Gabe Kapler, becoming the first woman to interview for the position. The jersey that Nakken wore during her first major league game on July 23, 2020 was sent to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Earlier this year, Nakken gave birth to her first child, Austyn. A standout softball player at Sacramento State, Nakken first joined the Giants in 2014 as a baseball operations intern, serving various front-office roles before joining the major-league coaching staff. ©2024 MediaNews Group, Inc.
