Times Of Israel: Heavy Israeli airstrikes reported on Syrian military sites in coastal Tartus region
Israeli airstrikes targeted military sites in Syria's Tartus region, marking a significant escalation since the recent fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime. Reports indicate these are the heaviest strikes in the area since 2012, focusing on air defense units and missile depots.
The leader of the Islamist rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham stated that Israel's actions have crossed red lines, but reassured that the new Syrian government would not threaten Israel or allow Iranian influence. Israel maintains its military operations aim to neutralize threats amid a volatile regional landscape.
The Telegraph: Watch: Israeli strike in Syria causes ‘seismic’ explosion
Israeli air strikes in Syria's Tartus region were described as the heaviest in over a decade, targeting military sites including air defense units and missile depots. The strikes were powerful enough to register as a 3.1 magnitude earthquake, with no casualties reported.
The bombings also included missile launchers in Hama and radars at Deir ez-Zor airport. Videos of the strikes showed significant explosions and a mushroom cloud. Tartus hosts a Russian naval base, which was recently abandoned.

GB News: Rent prices up by over 30 per cent since 2020 and are expected to continue to rise, report reveals
Rental prices in Britain have surged by 31.6% since November 2020, despite a recent slowdown in growth. Average rents for newly-let properties rose by 2.6% annually in November, with the current monthly average at £1,382, reflecting long-term pressures on the rental market.
Looking ahead, Rightmove forecasts a 4% increase in new seller asking prices by 2025, influenced by expected drops in mortgage rates and upcoming changes to stamp duty. While the housing market is experiencing a seasonal dip, areas like the North East show resilience, with prices rising 1% this month.

Fox News: ‘Yo-yo’ weight loss occurs because of this surprising reason
Approximately 40% of American adults experience obesity, with many facing the challenge of weight fluctuations, known as the yo-yo effect. A recent study suggests this may be linked to "metabolic memory," where fat cells retain a memory of their previous obese state, complicating weight maintenance after loss.
The research indicates that this memory is encoded in the epigenome, affecting gene activity and potentially making it difficult for individuals to sustain weight loss. Experts emphasize the importance of preventing obesity early on to avoid establishing this epigenetic memory and advocate for sustainable lifestyle changes rather than short-term diets.
