At least 492 people have been killed in intense and wide-ranging Israeli air strikes targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon, the country’s health ministry says, in the deadliest day of conflict there in almost 20 years.

Thousands of families have also fled their homes as the Israeli military said it hit 1,600 Hezbollah targets in an operation to destroy infrastructure that the armed group had built up since the 2006 war.

Hezbollah, meanwhile, launched more than 200 rockets into northern Israel, according to the military. Paramedics said two people were injured by shrapnel.

World powers have been urging restraint as both sides appear to be spiralling closer towards all-out war.

The United States and China have held high-level commander talks for the first time, Chinese authorities said, amid efforts to stabilise military ties and avoid misunderstandings, especially in regional hotspots such as the South China Sea.

Washington hopes to open new channels of regular military communication with Beijing after ties sank to a historic low when the United States downed a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon last year.

Apple’s new iPhone 16 failed to excite investors with long-expected Artificial Intelligence (AI) features still in test mode even as an industry-first tri-fold phone from Huawei raised the stakes in a battle to dominate the global smartphone market.

Apple’s shares fell 1.7 per cent on Tuesday, a day after the US tech giant unveiled its new iPhones that sport hardware-level integration for applications based on artificial intelligence but with limited changes to the external design.

The phones will use AI features — dubbed Apple Intelligence — to improve the company’s voice assistant Siri as well as enhance the camera.

Those features will arrive on US iPhones in beta next month, potentially keeping people from upgrading to iPhone 16s soon.

“With lots of words like ‘later this year’ and ‘early next year’, the core Apple message for iPhone 16 was: Next year will be better,” Needham analyst Laura Martin said in a note.

Apple did not say when it would move beyond the test phase, nor did it announce a partner in China to help power its AI ambitions.

The lack of AI features in the new iPhones drew scorn in China, where the government has mandated that generative AI-based chatbots need to be vetted before their public release.

The hashtag “iPhone 16 Chinese version doesn’t support AI yet” attracted 11.33 million views and over 1,500 comments on Weibo.

“What’s the point of buying it if you can’t use AI?” wrote one Weibo user.

Another commented, “Without AI as the biggest selling point, it should be half price.”

Apple did not raise prices for the new iPhones, which Wall Street analysts said was a good strategy as consumers are not willing to splurge on big-ticket items. Huawei, which showed off its new Mate XT smartphone hours after the Apple event, has priced the tri-fold device at $2,800.

“Production constraints and the high price point mean the new (Huawei) phone will likely not have a huge impact in terms of shipments,” said Will Wong, senior researcher at consultancy IDC.

“But it’s telling the consumers that it’s still the tech leader and the potential challenge it brings to Apple may be far beyond just market share.”

No Aramco site has been commissioned anywhere in Pakistan so far, and a formal announcement will be made in this regard at an appropriate time.

This was stated by Zeeshan Tayyeb, Chief Operating Officer, Gas & Oil Pakistan Ltd (GO), in response to a misleading picture and news circulating on social media.

GO, a business partner of the Saudi oil giant Aramco in Pakistan, has said that no site has been commissioned and the picture is of some other site outside Pakistan.
Aramco, one of the world’s leading integrated energy and chemicals companies, completed its acquisition of a 40% equity stake in GO Pakistan earlier this year.

In December 2023, Aramco had signed definitive agreements to acquire a 40% equity stake. The acquisition was Aramco’s first entry into the Pakistani fuels retail market, advancing its strategy to strengthen its downstream value chain internationally.

A notorious Russian military unit has carried out cyber-attacks on Ukrainian allies around the world designed to disrupt aid efforts, according to a joint defence briefing by Western intelligence agencies.
They said attacks both before and after the full-scale invasion in February 2022 were carried out by the same group believed to be behind the poisonings of a former Russian double agent and his daughter in Salisbury in 2018.
Unit 29155, which has been linked to high-profile espionage and sabotage campaigns in recent years, expanded into cyber operations in 2020, agencies in the UK, US and several other countries said in a joint statement.
