Hezbollah rockets strike Northern Israeli city of Haifa, injuring eight

Late on Sunday, the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets at the northern Israeli city of Haifa, injuring eight people and causing significant damage, according to Israeli authorities.

Around five rockets were fired, with one striking a roundabout near a supermarket and several apartment blocks in eastern Haifa.

The Israeli military reported that it is investigating why its air defense systems failed to intercept the incoming rockets.

Hezbollah claimed the attack was aimed at a military base south of Haifa in retaliation for the killing of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in an Israeli airstrike last month.

Elsewhere, one person was injured in the town of Tiberias, located on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, after a separate rocket attack by Hezbollah.

In response, Israeli warplanes launched a new round of airstrikes on Beirut, targeting what the military described as Hezbollah positions.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) also confirmed that a third division has been deployed in southern Lebanon as clashes between Israeli troops and Hezbollah fighters continue in the region.

This latest escalation comes after over a year of cross-border fighting, initially sparked by Hezbollah’s support for Palestinian forces following Hamas’s attack on southern Israel in October 2023.

The situation has deteriorated steadily, with Hezbollah continuing its rocket attacks despite heavy losses.

According to the IDF, Hezbollah fired more than 135 rockets into northern Israel on Sunday alone. The strikes on Haifa followed air raid sirens that sounded in the Carmel and Bay areas at approximately 23:22 local time (20:22 GMT).

Videos from the scene show emergency services responding to damage caused by the attack. A 13-year-old boy and a 22-year-old man were among those treated for injuries, with the Magen David Adom ambulance service reporting moderate to serious shrapnel wounds.

Israel has vowed to secure the northern border and ensure the safety of thousands of displaced residents as the conflict with Hezbollah intensifies.

‘I’m being blackimailed’ – Tunde Ayeni cries out over paternity dispute with Adaobi Alagwu

Billionaire businessman and former Skye Bank chairperson, Tunde Ayeni, has responded to the recent insistence by an Abuja-based lawyer, Adaobi Alagwu, that they had a daughter together.

DAILY POST recalls that the controversy surrounding the paternity of the child, Omarosa, came to public attention after Alagwu claimed that Ayeni was the biological father of her child.

However, Ayeni swore an affidavit before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), stating categorically that he has no paternal ties to the child.

In the affidavit, Ayeni alleged that Alagwu manipulated him into believing he was the father, going as far as tampering with a DNA test to support her claims. The businessman emphasized that he has withdrawn any consent previously given for the child to bear his family name.

However, Adaobi, in a response through her lawyer, insisted that she was legally married to the businessman and that Mr. Ayeni is the biological father of her daughter, Omarosa.

The legal counsel stated that the traditional marriage rites between Ms. Alagwu and Mr. Ayeni were lawfully conducted, including the payment of the bride price, adding that the ceremony was captured on video.

Reacting, however, Ayeni, through his legal team, called for an investigation into what they described as “an act of criminal blackmail and extortion.”

“In a desperate bid to maintain her illusion of a relationship with Ayeni, Alagwu has allegedly resorted to blackmail, threatening to release compromising private photos of the businessman to the public.

“However, following the breakdown of their entanglement and the confirmation that Ayeni is not the father of Alagwu’s child, he severed all ties with her and, in a gentlemanly manner, issued a quit notice to both Alagwu and her mother, giving them a six-month period to vacate the properties. One is in Aso Estate the other one in Joe akhigbe road.

“With the expiration of this deadline fast approaching, Alagwu has allegedly resorted to threats, vowing to leak private images in an attempt to coerce Ayeni into allowing her continued occupation of the property,” the legal team noted.
