Summary

Today’s Headlines: A strike by the IRGC-backed Hezbollah hit a soccer field in Majdal Shams, Israel, killing 12 children and teenagers and injuring 30 others. This attack, the deadliest in northern Israel in recent months, has heightened fears of a broader regional conflict. Israeli leaders warned of severe repercussions, despite Hezbollah's denial of involvement. In Russia, President Putin announced the potential deployment of new strike weapons along the border, in response to the U.S. stationing longer-range missiles in Germany, raising tensions with the West. France's high-speed rail network suffered coordinated attacks disrupting the Olympics, with suspicions of Russian involvement. Meanwhile, authorities arrested Sinaloa cartel leader Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada and Iowa's strict 6-week abortion ban took effect. Finally, President Biden nominated Val Demings to the USPS Board, potentially impacting the position of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
