| Boeing to cut 17,000 jobs amid worker strike and financial losses |
 |
|
Boeing will cut 17,000 jobs – 10% of its workforce – as the US plane maker deals with various issues across its business. Chief executive Kelly Ortberg told staff in an email on Friday that the cuts will include executives, managers and employees. He said the downsizing is necessary to “align with our financial reality” after an ongoing strike by 33,000 workers on America’s West Coast halted production of its 737 MAX, 767 and 777 jets. The company said it will also delay the rollout of the new 777X plane to 2026 instead of 2025, and will stop building the cargo version of its 767 jet in 2027 after finishing current orders. “While our business is facing near-term challenges, we are making important strategic decisions for our future and have a clear view on the work we must do to restore our company,” Mr Ortberg said. |

| Netanyahu’s office says Israeli interests will determine response to Iran after report suggests US vote a factor |
|
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says a decision on its plans to retaliate against Iran for the October 1 ballistic missile attack will be made based on Israel’s needs. The middle-of-the-night statement comes in response to a Washington Post report that Netanyahu told US President Joe Biden Israel would not attack Iranian oil or nuclear sites. According to an unnamed official quoted by the broadsheet, Israel’s plans are being calibrated to avoid having an impact on the upcoming US elections. “We listen to the American government’s thoughts, but will make our final decisions based on Israel’s national security needs,” the Prime Minister’s Office statement says. |

| Defying Israel, UNIFIL chief says peacekeepers to ‘stay in all positions’ in Lebanon |
 |
|
United Nations peacekeepers will stay in all positions in Lebanon despite Israeli calls for them to move, given intensifying fighting between Israel and Hezbollah and five blue helmets suffering injuries, the UN peacekeeping chief says. “The decision was made that UNIFIL would currently stay in all its positions in spite of the calls that were made by the Israel Defense Forces to vacate the positions that are in the vicinity of the Blue Line,” says UN peacekeeping chief Jean-Pierre Lacroix. The IDF and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have made repeated calls in recent days to UNIFIL to evacuate from active combat zones, arguing that Hezbollah has been using its positions as human shields. |

| IDF takes over tunnel under Lebanese village meant for elite Hezbollah forces to use in invasion |

IDF forces from the 8th Reserve Brigade, operating on the eastern side of southern Lebanon, have taken over an underground complex belonging to Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force, the IDF says. The complex, which includes 800 meters of tunnels, is situated under a civilian village, says the army. The tunnels include a bedroom and a fully stocked kitchen. According to IDF spokesman Brig. Gen. Daniel Hagari, the complex was designed for a Radwan battalion to arrive, suit up, then head into Israel on foot and on motorbikes. IDF forces captured the complex late last week and found anti-helicopter missiles, mortar shells, rifles and other munitions. One of the operatives was holed up in the bunker, and was killed by the Air Force. |
