1. Iran’s supremeleader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warned Israel that its killing of Hassan Nasrallah, Hizbullah’s leader, would “not go unavenged” and announced five days of official mourning. The militant group’s leader was killed in an air strike targeting its headquarters in Beirut on Friday. Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, said Nasrallah’s death would change “the balance of power in the region for years to come”. Joe Biden, America’s president, described the killing as “a measure of justice” for Hizbullah’s victims. Meanwhile Israel continued its campaign of air strikes on Hizbullah positions in Lebanon.

7. Three parties at last formed a government in Flanders, in northern Belgium, nearly four months after voters went to the polls.

One senior N-VA politician congratulated the parties on finding “a creative way” of putting aside their differences.
在選民投票將近四個月後，位於比利時北部佛蘭德地區的三個政黨終於組成了政府。中左翼的「前進黨」（Vooruit）、基督教民主黨（Christian Democrats）和右翼的新弗拉芒聯盟（N-VA）一直在預算、強制投票和頭巾佩戴限制等議題上難以達成共識。N-VA的一位資深政治家祝賀各政黨，稱其找到了「一種創意的方式」來擱置分歧。
