The UN says more than 10,000 ceasefire violations have been recorded since the Israel–Lebanon “truce” began in November 2024, with almost all of them attributed to Israel. The violations occur roughly every 53 minutes and have killed at least 127 civilians, according to the UN.

Asked by Sky News why Israel was violating the deal, Israel’s UN ambassador Danny Danon accused Hezbollah of rebuilding military infrastructure, restocking bunkers, and smuggling weapons and cash into Lebanon. He provided no public evidence to support the claims.

UNIFIL, which operates around the clock in southern Lebanon, says it has found no evidence of Hezbollah regrouping. The force has reported locating old, abandoned weapons caches and unexploded ordnance, but says these date to earlier periods and do not indicate new activity.

I feel like the refs should be better mainly for the integrity of the game. The last #WNBA game of the 2024 playoffs ended in controversy and debate partially because of their inconsistency. But idk, happy to hear more thoughts.

I would’ve given WP/ Sally some benefit of the doubt with the conversation because the refs are bananas.
But using that picture for the column when a 3x MVP (A’ja Wilson) and one of the top contenders for MVP (Napheesa Collier) dealt with injuries too??

I know what you are.

#WNBA officiating could be better. But Sally Jenkins missed an opportunity to further platform the gender bias in sports med. This isn’t even a WNBA issue solely.
