☆ Israeli Airstrikes Killed 10 Lebanese Civilians in a Single Day. Hezbollah Has Vowed to Retaliate
  + stars: | 2024-02-15 | by ( Associated Press | Feb. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +1 min
BEIRUT (AP) — The civilian death toll from two Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon has risen to 10, Lebanese media reported Thursday, making the previous day the deadliest one in more than four months of cross-border exchanges. The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate for the strikes, which hit in the city of Nabatiyeh and a village in southern Lebanon, just hours after projectiles from Lebanon killed an Israeli soldier. The fire from Lebanon earlier Wednesday struck the northern Israeli town of Safed, killing a female Israeli soldier and wounding eight people. The war began with the surprise attack in southern Israel by the Palestinian militant group Hamas, an ally of Hezbollah. Government institutions, schools and the Lebanese University were to close on Thursday in protest of the airstrikes.

☆ Oldest mosquito fossil comes with a bloodsucking surprise

Dany Azar/Handout via REUTERS Acquire Licensing RightsWASHINGTON, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide are killed annually by malaria and other diseases spread through the bite of mosquitoes, insects that date back to the age of dinosaurs. To their surprise, the male mosquitoes possessed elongated piercing-sucking mouthparts seen now only in females. Some flying insects - tsetse flies, for instance - have hematophagous males. "In all hematophagous insects, we believe that hematophagy was a shift from plant liquid sucking to bloodsucking," Azar said. The researchers said while these are the oldest fossils, mosquitoes probably originated millions of years earlier.
