In our news wrap Sunday, a Lebanese Army soldier was killed as Israel and Hezbollah traded cross-border attacks, Netanyahu called the death of a rabbi in the UAE a terror incident, world leaders reached an agreement at COP29 to help developing nations cope with climate change, and former Oklahoma Sen. Fred Harris and former game show host Chuck Woolery have died.
Laura Barrón-López:
Good evening. I’m Laura Barron-Lopez. John Yang is away. Israeli Defense Forces and Hezbollah traded attacks today, leaving the Lebanese army stuck in the middle. One soldier was killed and 18 others wounded when an Israeli strike hit an army base in southern Lebanon.
The IDF later apologized, saying its operations were directed at militants, and Hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets and other projectiles into Israel, wounding seven.
The death of a dual Israeli-Moldovan citizen is being called a terror incident by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He announced today that the body of Zvi Kogan was found after the ultra-Orthodox rabbi went missing last week in the United Arab Emirates. Kogan was also known for participating in the group Chabad, which supports Jewish visitors and residents in the UAE. Israel is again warning against non-essential travel there.
World leaders have finally come to an agreement to help developing countries cope with the damaging effects of climate change. At the United Nations Climate Summit, richer nations agreed to pay $300 billion per year to poorer countries by 2035. Most of the money will go toward deploying solar and wind energy, helping communities adapt to floods and fires, and improving emergency plans in the wake of disasters.
But many developing countries say it’s not enough. Experts recommended more than $1 trillion to tackle the challenge.
Former Oklahoma Senator Fred Harris has died. He served in the Senate for eight years, pushing for civil rights, backing anti-poverty programs and advocating for indigenous communities. Harris also chaired the Democratic National Committee and ran for president twice. Fred Harris was 94 years old.
And one of the country’s most well-known game show hosts. Chuck Woolery has died. He was the original host of Wheel of Fortune and the longtime face of Love Connection. Later in life, he became a conservative podcaster. Chuck Woolery was 83 years old.
