Airstrikes reported to be Israel responsible, continue.
News stories are circulating about 7 individuals deceased through the airstrikes that were either leaders or potential leaders of certain posts in Hezbollah, preponderant location of the strikes appear to be in Lebanon.
For example:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/09/29/hezbollah-lebanon-nasrallah-israel/59d7fd10-7ea1-11ef-90f2-d1fc6303655d_story.html
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/hassan-nasrallah-to-nabil-kaouk-7-hezbollah-commanders-killed-in-israeli-strikes-in-7-days/articleshow/113798649.cms
Bios within those stories rarely take up more than a sentence or two. The common thread is that they were folks that joined Hezbollah in about the early 1980s. In order for the basic facts in chronology to occur, if they were about 60 when deceased, they were about 20 when joining.
Are there any issues? Perhaps. One is the back-in-time question (in legalese, 'retroactive'...), of judging someone in the 1980s, pertinent but not limited to, when fighting in a region such as Lebanon was rife, Shia leadership in nearby Iran had just come in, post Shah, and news circulation is not like it is today, where cell phones and Wi-Fi can make many in many corners of the globe aware of situations such as an explosion of any sort, accidental, a farm, a factory, war, a circus stunt, within seconds or real time of it happening. Moreover, what might be described as the heat of belief, in terms of individuals intentions behind certain actions, may have been different then than it is now, where today has a lot of media and political dominated climate. Availability and options to survive, back in the 1980s, also perhaps different, especially for youth that may have seen joining the nearest available group, as one of 2 or 3 groups to either survive or perish, option limited to joining one group, or the other group perceived as the enemy or opposing side, or not of the same reigion or faith, plus that family members had been lost, and they in some ways were still 'kids'; to a 20 year old then, what else were they going to do?, often becomes a subject matter human rights entities look into. This historical phenomenon may hold true for numerous regions where strife and tensions took place, such as overthrows of tyrannical corrupt governments by communist groups, whereas communism is not currently perceived as aligned with democratic ideals of the United States and many, especially European, nations; west of the Atlantic, is included. That all briefly unraveled, discerning the line or lines in the sand, of when someone joined a group as an older kid, ('kid' means compared to an elder, -not to detract from their development but for illustrative purposes,-) and then, either continuing terror consistently since, commencing to engage in leftist terrorism, made it clear he or she was seizing the opportune moment to join a group to start their career as terrorists for greedy aims, or branching off into their own 'thing', engaging in activities such as illegal drug trafficking, using both sides of war and their groups as shields to cultivate gangs that engage in deviant practices. Obviously there are going to be cases where individuals got out when they could get out, changed their ways, cleaned up, etc. The discussion of accountability. Is a 20 year old that 'joined', but did no damage, then unboarded, still accountable 40 years later in a different climate, are they actually being a viable danger or threat? If there are, then so be the case, if they are not, then over aggression towards them might be case of imbalanced action.
It may be that there is a general belief, such as including in the current air emotions, that after the October 7th incident last year, about a week from the 1 year mark past, that Israeli forces are adamant about eradicating any all possible threats to them; whereas that may be the rationale for a series of attacks on whom they believe might be dangers or threats.
There are differing views and opinions, as well as differing levels of depths of information by those holding those views and opinions, as to what extent who or what was targeted, and level of severity of attacks on those targets, are fair, or gone too far, or should not have been.
News reports in recent hours indicate there are targets in Yemen by Israeli forces.
Total number of persons injured, killed, and displaced due to Israeli airstrikes, is becoming a policy stance issue taken on by numerous nations globally

AI, acronym for artificial intelligence, making waves in the news, for some unfortunate but obvious it is a dire issue now that it is here; toward the top of the stack at this time, the idea of fake porn, which can be very hurtful. The positive of AI, is it illustrates advances in technology, and that there have been some folks that went to school and got good at computers. The positive of AI, which is to mimic reality so closely that it almost appears as reality, or in some cases can be mistaken for reality, needs to be used for positive purposes such as developing scientific models of natural weather disasters, like the destruction in process now with Hurricane Helene. As it is pondered what AI could have done to prevent traumatic moments of patients on the roof of hospitals being rescued while first responders risk their lives, AI models might have shown the behaviors of the waters that surged should have dictated the hospital or hospitals should have been evacuated perhaps a day in advance, ambulance drivers should not have been driving out there, and so on; while not having to be concerned that your son or daughter in school that has never thought of sin, might have their photo of a harmless pose sitting in chair be fusioned with some other pose of someone else in the porn industry in some other despised presentment not to be discussed here, then on top of that, morphing the picture so it actually looks like the school student, then further exacerbated by having the photo distributed at exponential speed through computers and social media. And not just people and porn, AI could be used in the negative manner in a number of ways, fake news, etc.
The US is trying crack down on referent wrongful use of AI. South Korea is also cracking down, and might be implementing punitive actions for certain kinds of usage.
Of course a key is getting control of the situation before it spirals out of control.
