Overview

  • A rocket from Hamas struck a building in Tel Aviv, causing severe damage. Over 7,000 rockets have been fired at Israel since the start of conflict, with claims from former Israeli speechwriter Aviva Klompas of extensive damage to at least one building.
  • Pop star Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance at The Sphere in Las Vegas, performing with legendary rock band U2. Her performance included U2's 'All I Want Is You' and 'I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For', which led directly into her hit song 'Shallow' from the movie 'A Star Is Born'.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell are planning to advance a conservative agenda. Following a 'productive meeting' between both, Johnson tweeted commitment to working together while McConnell emphasized the need for 'strong Republican leadership' in meeting the nation's biggest challenges.
  • Week 8 of the NFL sees all teams back in action, with experts releasing their picks. 16 games are on the slate with the trade deadline looming, creating high anticipation among fans for the outcome of various match-ups.
  • Washington Mystics guard and WNBA Star Natasha Cloud announced her support for Palestine, even at the expense of potentially losing endorsements. Cloud's openly voiced views are a testament to both her and the WNBA's history of advocating for a range of global causes.
  • Ohio's Redistricting reform has been delayed by a typo in the proposal's language. Citizens Not Politicians, the authors of the proposal, incorrectly listed the date for the approval of the commission-drawn maps, causing a resubmission of the proposal.
  • NFL's Seattle Seahawks have re-signed defensive end Frank Clark for a one-year deal. Clark, who had started his career with the Seahawks, has Pro Bowl honours to his name and played a key part in Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victories in 2019 and 2022.
  • Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox is set to spend four games on the injury reserve list due to a wrist injury. His absence in Thursday Night's game against the Buccaneers will mark a significant loss for the Bills, with rookie Dalton Kincaid expected to step in.
