Beirut attack kills senior Hezbollah commander, Trump assassination attempt thwarted

It happened while you were sleeping. Here are the reports from global agencies from Tuesday to Wednesday night.

• Hezbollah confirmed on Tuesday night that one of its high-ranking commanders, Ibrahim Kubaisi, was killed on Tuesday in an Israeli attack on one of Beirut's suburbs. In a released statement, Shia Hezbollah informed that "Commander Ibrahim Mohammed Kobeissi", who was "martyred on the road to Jerusalem," which - as highlighted by the AFP agency - is a phrase used by this group when its members are killed as a result of an Israeli attack. The Israeli army continues to intensify attacks on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. However, innocent bystanders are also being killed.

• Accused of attempting an attack on Donald Trump, 58-year-old Ryan Routh has been charged with the attempted murder of the presidential candidate - the federal prosecutor's office announced. Earlier, Routh was charged with illegal possession of a firearm, being a previously convicted felon, and possessing a firearm with obliterated serial numbers. By order of the prosecutor's office, Routh will remain in custody until the court trial. The lawyers' request to release him on bail was denied. Routh has not yet announced whether he pleads guilty or considers himself innocent.
