'Am fine': Kerala-born Norwegian contacts kin after pager blasts probe
Wednesday, 1 January 2025 A Norwegian citizen from Kerala, Rinson Jose, has been cleared by Norwegian police of any involvement in the September 2024 pager blasts in Lebanon. Jose, whose company was investigated, has safely contacted his family and resumed work. Reports suggest Jose has returned to Norway with his wife, although his current location remains undisclosed.
NATO is stepping up its military backing of Ukraine as the Netherlands ships out its final batch of F-16 fighter jets — but the skies aren't safe. Ukraine has already confirmed the loss of three U.S.-made F-16s in combat. Despite mounting risks, Western nations continue their push to modernize Ukraine’s air force as part of the international fighter jet coalition. Denmark, Belgium, Norway, and the Netherlands are now actively arming Kyiv while transitioning to the F-35s themselves. Is NATO’s bet on air superiority paying off — or are these jets flying straight into danger?

In blatant defiance of a ceasefire agreement, Israeli drone strikes on Saturday killed at least two people and wounded several others in southern Lebanon. A drone strike in Mahrouna targeted a motorcycle, killing one and injuring two bystanders in a passing car. Hours earlier, another Israeli UAV strike hit a vehicle in Kounine, killing a Hezbollah resistance fighter, identified as Hassan Mohammad Jumaa.
These attacks mark yet another violation of the extended truce that began on November 27 and was supposed to hold past February 18. Despite its expiration, Lebanon had hoped for stability, but Israel’s continued occupation of strategic southern areas and recurring strikes have reignited regional tensions. Beirut has condemned the aggression and vowed to take “all necessary measures” to end Israel’s unlawful military presence. The international community remains silent as Tel Aviv pushes the boundaries of legality and human rights with impunity.

Israel has eliminated Saeed Izadi, the Quds Force commander accused of masterminding Hamas’ October 7, 2023 massacre. Killed in a precise IDF strike on an apartment in Qom, Iran, Izadi was Iran’s key link to Hamas and Lebanon-based terror factions. He led the Quds Force’s Palestine Corps, funneled funds to Hamas, and coordinated military strategy. Israeli officials call his death a severe blow to Iran-Hamas operations, vowing to continue targeting key figures threatening Israel’s national security.
