Eleven killed in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon

Good evening, Fairmont. I'm Chip Marlowe.

And I'm Deb Sarkissian. Eleven people are dead tonight in southern Lebanon after Israeli strikes. We have the latest from the region.

This hour: The World Desk brings you developing details from Lebanon and what Israel says prompted the action. Criminal Intent covers Luigi Mangione's guilty plea and what his lawyers are demanding.

Happy Animals has a family rescued after sixteen hours adrift off Thailand. And Sports takes you inside the Patriot Games as they wrap up this weekend.

The Patriot Games wrapped up yesterday.

The coverage continues.

Still ahead on The World Desk: a father and two sons pulled from the water after their jet ski failed miles from shore. What kept them alive.

That story when we come back.

Welcome back to KRAK 11 News. This is The World Desk.

Israel Defense Forces say the strikes targeted Hezbollah positions in response to what they describe as attacks on Israeli soldiers earlier in the day. No details yet on civilian casualties.

The strikes were concentrated along the Israel-Lebanon border region, which has seen increased tension in recent weeks as Hezbollah activity spreads into neighboring territories.

The border is with Lebanon, not neighboring territories. Hezbollah operates in southern Lebanon.

That's what I said. The U.N. peacekeeping force stationed in the area is monitoring the situation but has not issued a statement.

The fire started in the Belgian Alps nature preserve and has already consumed several hundred acres. Crews from across the region have been called in to help.

Belgium doesn't have alps. The fire is in a lowland nature reserve.

High winds are complicating containment efforts. No injuries have been reported, but several nearby communities have been placed on evacuation alert as a precaution.

Authorities say the cause is still under investigation. Drought conditions across parts of northern Europe have increased wildfire risk this season.

Romanian authorities have not yet confirmed the identity, but Smyth's family has been notified. He was hiking alone on a trail known for difficult terrain.

The Carpathians are part of the same mountain system as the Alps, stretching all the way across central Europe through what used to be Yugoslavia.

The Carpathians are a separate range. They run through Romania, Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine.

Search teams had been out for three days before the discovery. Weather conditions in the area have been challenging.

The seven-point-seven magnitude quake hit Flores island early this morning local time. Dozens of buildings collapsed, and entire villages in remote areas have been cut off by landslides.

Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, which accounts for ninety percent of the world's earthquakes. The country experiences thousands of quakes every year, though most are minor.

The Ring of Fire runs along the southern Pacific, which is why Indonesia and the Philippines see so much seismic activity compared to northern countries in the region.

It encircles the entire Pacific basin. Forty thousand kilometers. That includes Japan, Alaska, and Chile.

The Indonesian government has deployed military helicopters to reach cut-off areas. International aid organizations are mobilizing support.

We'll continue to follow that story as more information becomes available.

Deb, when we covered the twenty-eleven earthquake in Japan, you and I were in the studio for sixteen straight hours.

Fourteen hours. You went home at ten.

I came back at four in the morning.

You did.

That was good work.

It was the job.

Still ahead on KRAK 11 News, a Wexler County man is facing his third felony charge in six months, and this time prosecutors say they have him on camera. That story is next in Criminal Intent.

We'll be right back.

Three Italian masterworks. Ten million dollars. Five suspects in custody, and one of them turned himself in at the airport carrying his own luggage.

Prosecutors allege.

Of course. Prosecutors allege he walked into law enforcement at the airport.

Federal and state charges for the same act. Different jurisdictions, different statutes, and that's perfectly legal even if it sounds like you're being charged twice.

It does.

Ten million in art. Carried out of the country in luggage. Deb, you cannot fence a recognizable masterwork. Every dealer in Europe has that alert.

Police said.

Police said the paintings are recognizable masterworks and every dealer in Europe has that alert. Better?

Yes.

The Blotter is brought to you by accuracy and also by people who do not plan ahead. Coming up, something went very right for a change.

Happy Animals is next.

Stay with us.

Time now for the Good News Desk.

Sixteen hours. In the ocean. Still together when they were found.

That's... that's what you do.

Good work by Corvallis.

They said it took about twelve minutes.

Twelve minutes well spent.

A hundred thousand dollars total. Same numbers, same drawing, same store.

The Maryland Lottery confirmed both tickets.

Still ahead, we'll have Sports, including a follow-up on something we talked about last segment that a lot of you have been asking about.

That's next on KRAK Eleven News.

Sports.

Paulson went seven and three. They knocked Ridge out in the semifinals last year.

But Ridge won the championship. Different bracket. This year they meet earlier and somebody's season ends tonight.

Westside Dental plays Marion's Catering at eight-thirty in the second semifinal.

I still think we should send a crew to the finals next week. It's good television, Deb. Real stakes, real community.

The finals are at seven. We're on air at six.

We could tape it.

Then it's not live and it's not news.

The Argentine has been with the club two years, but sections of the crowd let him hear it every time he touched the ball.

Morgan Rogers scored on his first appearance for Chelsea. They won two-one.

Manager Xabi Alonso is in his third season at the club. Last year Bayer Leverkusen went undefeated and won the Bundesliga under him.

Alonso took over at Leverkusen. He's managing Chelsea now.

Right. Different club. Same system, though. You can see the blueprint carrying over.

It's his first match.

The government launched a streaming service in March to carry the anniversary coverage. I tried to find it on three different platforms and couldn't locate it anywhere.

It's a separate app.

I have eleven apps, Deb. At some point you're just guessing.

The coverage continues through the end of the month even though the games concluded yesterday.

Documentaries, athlete profiles, that kind of thing. If you can find it.

The backstop costs kick in if the two leagues can't agree on how to split television revenue. Talks have been stalled since June.

The consultation closes September fifth.

Coming up on the next KRAK 11 News at the top of the hour, we'll have an update on the Wexler County commissioner's meeting that ran four hours tonight and still hasn't produced a budget vote.

Three commissioners walked out just after nine. The remaining four are still in session.

We'll carry any vote live if it happens in the next hour. That's the next KRAK 11 News, at the top of the hour.

For Chip Marlowe, I'm Deb Sarkissian. Good night.

Deb. Before we go. That thing about the app.

We're off air.

Good night, Fairmont.
