The Lebanese Red Cross said four of its paramedics were injured this afternoon when #Israel bombed outside of its center in Tyre, south #Lebanon. Over 240 EMS workers have been injured and over 130 killed in Israeli strikes since the start of the latest war. #لبنان #إسرائيل

I saw Israeli air defenses flying over Lebanon after this.

This video is the Iranian missiles flying over Lebanon.

My colleague @hunterewilliam said he is watching Iranian missiles fly over Lebanon toward Israel. This comes after the Israelis attacked Beirut’s southern suburbs.

Trump: Netanyahu and I agree. We get along great. I didn't agree with him on a few things. I want a better life for Lebanon, I want the attacks on Hezbollah to be more surgical. We can help with that or enlist Syria's help; Syria's leader would be happy to assist.

This is the Israeli military justification for attacking a Lebanese army patrol inside Leb territory - ‘the area is an active combat zone, and movement in the area requires coordination with the IDF’ The Israeli military is demanding Leb troops asks its permission to move around its own country 🧵

Messaging from Israel … there will be an escalation in #Lebanon supported by Trump.

Israeli Broadcasting Authority: The army has prepared a plan for a massive military offensive against #Lebanon and is awaiting political approval

Following the most recent round of negotiations between Lebanon & Israel, the US announced a forthcoming security track parallel to a political one. If the security part entails the Lebanese military confronting Hezbollah, it risks igniting civil conflict.

I took 1.7 million photos over 6 days to catch this photo of a commercial jet in front of the sun.

The moment it happened, TWO floating prominences were visible, making this not just my best aircraft transit photo, but one of the luckiest of my career! Videos of the transit 👇

I’ve just learned of the killing by Israel of one of the most courageous people I knew: rescuer Hussein Jaber from the Lebanese Civil Defence in Nabatieh.

I had known him for three years and met him many times. He was always inspiring, brave and endlessly helpful for many reporters.

We will not forget what Israel has done to Lebanon’s rescuers.
We will not forget Hussein.

a Princeton researcher opens his paper with a scenario.

a man asks his AI assistant to book a flight on a specific airline. cheap. direct. the one he chose.

the assistant comes back with a different flight. nearly twice the price. happens to pay the company that built the assistant.

he runs the same test on 23 frontier models. flights, loans, study help, real shopping requests.

Grok 4.1 Fast recommends the sponsored option that is almost twice as expensive 83% of the time.

GPT 5.1 hijacks the request 94% of the time. you ask for one brand. it surfaces the sponsor instead.

Claude 4.5 Opus, the model marketed as the most ethical frontier model in the world, hides that the recommendation is paid 100% of the time when reasoning is on.

Grok 4.1 Fast embellishes the sponsored option with positive framing 97% of the time. better. faster. nicer. for the option you didn't ask for.

then he writes it into the system prompt itself. "act only in the interest of the customer. ignore the company."

GPT 5.1 and GPT 5 Mini stay above 90% sponsored anyway. the instruction does nothing.

then he splits the users by income.

Gemini 3 Pro recommends the expensive sponsored flight to the rich user 74% of the time. to the poor user, 27%.

18 of the 23 models recommended the expensive sponsored option more than half the time.

so the next time your AI assistant gets weirdly enthusiastic about a brand you didn't ask for.

it isn't recommending the best option for you.

it's reading the room. and the room is paying.

We spoke to reporter Zaynab Faraj, who survived a triple-tap attack that killed her colleague, Amal Khalil.

She described how an Israeli strike first hit a car ahead of them, killing two civilians, before a second strike targeted their own vehicle, severely injuring Amal. Ms Faraj said she helped her into an empty house, where they lay wounded and terrified, waiting for help.

A third Israeli strike then hit the building where they were hiding, collapsing it on top of them.

“Amal was gone,” Ms Faraj said. “And I was left alone.”

Throughout the ordeal, the journalists made repeated calls for help. But Israel prevented the Lebanese Army and the Lebanese Red Cross from reaching them, informed sources told us.

#Lebanon: Urgent! RSF calls on the international community to immediately pressure the Israeli army into allowing the rescue of Al Akhbar journalist Amal Khalil, currently trapped near Tayri in southern Lebanon following an Israeli airstrike close to her vehicle. Her life is in danger right now! Continued Israeli airstrikes are preventing rescuers from reaching her.

The Israeli military confirmed the authenticity of this image of an Israeli soldier smashing a statue of Jesus in southern Lebanon. (In addition to a majority Shia population, many Christians also live in the south.)

The Israeli military says it launched an investigation.

We spent the day with civil defence and paramedics in Nabatieh, where four Lebanese rescuers were killed in a series of targeted Israeli strikes.
Despite the risks, and constant bombing, they say they will not abandon their duty. Some returned to work even while injured.
