Israel Strikes Beirut, Killing 22, Injuring 117, Hezbollah Figure Targeted

Israel pounded central Beirut with a deadly air strike on Thursday while its ground troops in Lebanon were accused of firing on the UN's peacekeeping headquarters, injuring two of them. The air raid on Beirut, where an AFP journalist heard several loud explosions, was the third such attack on the centre of the Lebanese capital since Israel escalated its campaign last month. "The Israeli enemy's attacks on the capital Beirut this evening resulted in an updated toll of 22 people killed and 117 others injured," Lebanon's health ministry said in a statement.

Taiwan, Malaysia, Philippines Join India In Rejection Of China's "New Map"

Governments of the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Taiwan on Thursday joined India in rejecting China's new national map, issuing strongly worded statements accusing Beijing of claiming their territory.

Watch: Venomous Eastern Brown Snake Found Hiding Inside Office Printer

People are scared of snakes as these reptiles have a notorious reputation for sliding into the trickiest of spots. Encountering a snake is more common than people think as snakes camouflage themselves cleverly. In one such recent incident, a receptionist working in an office in Sydney was left terrified after she spotted an Eastern Brown snake lurking in one of the printers, reported Newsweek .  Sydney-based snake rescuers from Australian Snake Catchers were immediately called to remove the reptile safely. The handlers first moved the entire printer to the outside of the building before extracting the reptile. A professional then opened the paper drawer using a long snake hook to coax the snake out of hiding. He then hooked the snake from the back of the printer before grabbing hold of its tail. The metre-long snake was finally pulled out of the printer.   A video showing the rescuers removing the snake was also shared on Facebook.  Watch the video here: The caption ...
