Middle East & Africa
Hundreds of handheld pagers exploded near simultaneously across Lebanon and in parts of Syria on Tuesday, Lebanon’s health minister says eight were killed and some 2,800 were wounded, including 200 seriously. Hezbollah has said that two members are among the dead. A young girl, the daughter of a Hezbollah member, was also reported killed after a pager exploded in her parents’ home. Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah have been engaged in cross-border warfare in parallel with the Gaza war which erupted last October, the worst such escalation in years. The pagers that detonated were the latest model brought in by Hezbollah in recent months, three security sources said. No group has claimed responsibility for the explosions, but suspicion immediately fell on Israel’s intelligence services.

The JAS-39 Gripen: Sweden's 4+ Generation Wild Card

Sweden has unveiled a comprehensive military support package that includes substantial provisions for the potential future transfer of JAS 39 Gripen fighters. The Swedish government, recognizing the strategic importance of bolstering Ukraine’s aerial warfare capabilities, has allocated approximately $220.8 million for acquiring materiel parts specific to the JAS 39C/D variants of the Gripen multirole fighter aircraft. The Swedish Defense Materiel Administration will oversee the procurement of JAS 39C/D components, which are currently being repurposed in the production of the advanced JAS 39E model. This strategic acquisition serves a dual purpose: it safeguards a number of JAS 39C/D aircraft from decommissioning and establishes the groundwork for a potential future donation to Ukraine, should the Swedish government deem it appropriate.
