On Saturday, Hezbollah confirmed the death of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, following an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, significantly impacting the powerful Lebanese Shiite militant group with considerable regional influence.

Immediately following this, Israel's military mobilized three reserve battalions to strengthen defenses in the central command, including the occupied West Bank, anticipating increased tensions ahead of Jewish holidays.

With conflicts escalating, the European Union has advised airlines to avoid Lebanese and Israeli airspace until the end of October due to rising air strikes and rocket fire between Israel and Hezbollah, elevating security concerns.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded to the claimed killing of Nasrallah by urging Muslim unity against Israel, criticizing Israeli policies, and calling for the "Axis of Resistance" to stand strong.

Shifting to economic news, Saudi Arabia hosted "Saudi Night" in Las Vegas to promote mining investment opportunities as part of its Vision 2030 goals, aiming to diversify its economy beyond oil through sustainable growth and a competitive mining sector.

Finally, the UN reports that over 50,000 people have fled Lebanon to Syria amid the escalating Israeli air strikes, with more than 211,000 displaced in Lebanon, and over 700 fatalities, marking the heaviest casualties since the country's civil war.
