Israel announced on Thursday that it had destroyed important tunnels built by the Iran-backed Hezbollah group under the strategic Ali al-Taher hill in southern Lebanon. The explosion caused tremors in the region, where the United States Geological Survey (USGS) recorded a magnitude 4.1 earthquake. The National News Agency (NNA), Lebanon's state-run news agency, had reported a "massive explosion" on the hill, located in the Nabatieh region, causing tremors and a loud boom.

Journalists from Agence France-Presse (AFP) who were in the region reported hearing several explosions. In a video released by Israel's Defense Minister, Israel Katz, a huge fireball can be seen rising into the night sky. The Israeli military shared images of the explosions on September 10, 2026, showing the magnitude of the military operation.

IMF drops top candidate for chief economist position over Trump tariff comments, newspaper says

The International Monetary Fund abandoned the nomination of Portuguese economist Ricardo Reis, a professor at the London School of Economics, for the position of chief economist after the IMF became aware of critical statements he made about the trade tariffs adopted by the Donald Trump administration. The institution, based in Washington, was already preparing to announce Reis's selection to lead the research department and occupy the position of economic counselor at the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, but unexpectedly backed down from the decision. According to sources cited by the Financial Times, the last-minute change occurred after the IMF reviewed previous statements by Reis in which he criticized Trump's tariffs. In July, the IMF ultimately named Silvana Tenreyro, a former member of the monetary policy committee of the Bank of England, to the position.
