Israel strikes Beirut suburbs, kills 10 across Lebanon

Mar 06, 2026

Beirut [Lebanon], March 6: Israeli strikes have hit the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, state-run media say, while 10 people are reported killed across the country as Israel's deadline for Iranian officials to leave Lebanon expires amid a wider regional war.
The Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) on Thursday reported several strikes in the early morning on the Beirut suburbs of Ghobeiry and Haret Hreik. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Israel's military had earlier issued forced displacement orders for the suburbs where the strikes were reported, warning it was about to hit what it said were targets linked to Hezbollah. An Israeli army Arabic spokesperson, Ella Waweya, issued new forced displacement orders on Thursday afternoon for the entirety of several southern suburbs, namely Burj al-Barajneh, Hadath, Haret Hreik and Chiyah. Israel on Wednesday gave Iran's representatives in Lebanon 24 hours to leave the country. That deadline has since expired.

Amid Growing Water Crisis, Chandigarh University Biotechnology Researchers Get Patent for Innovative Device to Kitchen Wastewater Reuse, Save Potable Water

Chandigarh [India], August 29: At a time when 80% of water supplied to households in India is released as wastewater even as over 60 crore people in the country are facing severe water crisis due to extreme groundwater over-extraction, erratic monsoons and rapid urbanisation, a team of Chandigarh University (CU) researchers has conceived and patented an innovative wastewater filtering device designed to provide a two-stage treatment for kitchen wastewater before it enters the drainage system, while also enabling collection of the filtered water for suitable domestic uses including gardening, irrigation and outdoor-area cleaning, thus reducing the demand for fresh potable water.
