– Attacks in Lebanon: At least 11 people have been killed and more than 4,000 wounded by the apparently coordinated explosion of hundreds of pagers belonging to the Shiite militia party Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria, in an unprecedented attack that Lebanese sources have already attributed to Israel. As The New York Times reported, Hezbollah ordered some 3,000 of the devices from the Taiwanese company Gold Apollo, which were manipulated by Israel before they arrived in Lebanon. For now, Israeli authorities are keeping quiet.

With this forecast, the Basque Government’s Directorate of Emergency and Meteorology has activated the yellow alert for this Wednesday and Thursday due to maritime coastal risk, due to the forecast of spring tides of more than 5 meters, between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
– Bilbao residents arrested in Venezuela: Venezuelan Minister of the Interior and Justice Diosdado Cabello has assured that the two Bilbao citizens detained in Venezuela “are protected by the Venezuelan authorities in a safe place,” although he did not specify the place of detention. The minister has insisted that the detainees be linked to the CNI, despite the fact that the Spanish government and their families have categorically denied this.
