Magnier, a Brussels-based veteran and a senior political risk analyst, said that the group’s normal practice “is that they either want him to be in a safe place, and they are moving him, or he is dead, and they want to wait until they find his body.”ISRAEL-HEZBOLLAH WAR: NETANYAHU ‘DID NOT EVEN RESPOND’ TO US CEASE-FIRE DEAL, PLEDGES TO FIGHT ‘FULL FORCE’On Friday night, the IDF announced that two of Hezbollah’s leaders – Muhammad Ali Ismail and Hussein Ahmad Ismail – were killed in the strike.”Muhammad Ali Ismail, the Commander of Hezbollah’s Missile Unit in southern Lebanon, and his deputy, Hussein Ahmad Ismail, were eliminated in a precise IAF strike,” the IDF announced in a X post.The Israeli agency said that Ali Ismail was responsible for “directing numerous terrorist attacks” and “the firing of rockets towards Israeli territory and the launch of a surface-to-surface missile towards central Israel on Wednesday.”The IDF’s announcement of the elimination of the two terrorist leaders came after Ibrahim Muhammad Qabisi, Head of Hezbollah’s Missiles and Rockets Force, as well as other senior commanders of this unit, were previously killed.WATCH:Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh previously said that the U.S. was not involved in this operation and had no advance warning.”Minister [Yoav] Gallant spoke with Secretary Austin as the operation was already underway,” Singh said. “This operation has happened within the last few hours.

Virginia Tech thought they upset No. 7 Miami on the road, but victory was, almost quite literally, snatched from their hands.With three seconds left and down four points, Hokies quarterback Kyron Drones aired it out to the back of the end zone toward a swarm of both Hokies and Hurricanes. With the naked eye, it was tough to tell who initially came down with the ball, as seven players leaped for it. After some jostling, a Miami defensive back ran away with the pigskin, and celebrations began.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMHowever, the ruling on the field was actually a touchdown caught by Da’Quan Felton.But, there was a lengthy review, and officials reversed the call, giving the Hurricanes a 38-34 victory and putting the Hokies in absolute disbelief.”It came down to half an inch,” Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal said to the ESPN broadcast following the game, admitting his team played “sloppy.”Virginia Tech got on the board first with a touchdown on their first drive, but the Hurricanes answered by finding the end zone on back-to-back drives themselves. However, the Hokies scored 20 unanswered points to take a 27-17 lead early in the third quarter.HURRICANE HELENE FORCES BRONCOS TO PRACTICE ON INDOOR TENNIS COURTS IN WEST VIRGINIA RESORTMiami scored a touchdown to cut their deficit to three late in the quarter, but Virginia Tech found the end zone again to go back up 10. On the Canes’ next drive, they again made it a three-point game, and then, they forced a three-and-out. The Canes marched down the field and capitalized the drive with a touchdown to take the lead with two minutes left. Virginia Tech, clearly, had more than enough time, but the review was not on their side.Miami’s Cam Ward completed 24 of his 38 passes for 343 yards and four touchdowns, with 10 different Hurricanes making at least one reception.Hokies running back Bhayshul Tuten ran for 141 yards on his 19 carries, one of which was a score.Miami, now 5-0, will visit Cal next week, while Virginia Tech, 2-3, will also fly out west for a date with Stanford.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson was hospitalized following an “incident” at a campaign event on Friday evening, Fox News Digital has confirmed. “Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is currently being treated for burns following an incident at a campaign event in Mt. Airy. He is in good spirits,” Mike Lonergan, Robinson’s campaign communications director told Fox News Digital. The extent of Robinson’s injuries is unknown, and it’s unclear exactly how Robinson was burned.Robinson, the current Republican lieutenant governor running against Democratic state Attorney General Josh Stein to replace Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper in the battleground state, was recently accused of making controversial comments on a porn website. NC GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE MARK ROBINSON HIRES TRUMP-FRIENDLY LAWYER TO INVESTIGATE PORN WEBSITE ALLEGATIONSRobinson denies the allegations. He hired an attorney who previously worked for former President Trump. The Binnall Law Group from northern Virginia is investigating claims raised in a CNN report published earlier this week. “Normally, something like this, an investigation, you know, run by the Department of Justice and the FBI would take months or years,” Binnall previously told Fox News Digital. “We can’t do that in this case because the voters need an answer before the election. And so we are going to move very quickly and still give them a very fulsome report.” “He absolutely denies saying any of the things that are in the CNN piece,” Binnall said of Robinson. “What my investigation is going to do is we are going to follow the facts. We are going to investigate this strenuously. We are going to leave no stone unturned. We’re going to be very, very aggressive. And the citizens of North Carolina deserve nothing less than a full investigation of this matter, which is what we are going to do.”BATTLEGROUND STATE REPUBLICAN DENIES INVOLVEMENT IN PORN SCANDAL, DISMISSES IT AS ‘TABLOID TRASH’The CNN report surfaced comments Robinson allegedly made more than a decade ago on a porn site messaging board, including describing himself as a “black NAZI;” saying he enjoyed transgender pornography; saying that he preferred Hitler to then-President Barack Obama in 2012; and criticizing the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as “worse than a maggot.” Robinson has denied saying those words, but Republicans have begun to distance themselves from the candidate, who, if elected, would be North Carolina’s first Black governor. Trump did not mention Robinson, who he endorsed before the March primary and has spoken at other Trump events, during the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, Saturday. “The allegations against me are outright lies, fabricated to distract voters from Josh Stein’s disastrous record,” Robinson previously said in a statement to Fox News Digital regarding the investigation. “The great people of North Carolina deserve the truth, and I am fully committed to ensuring they get it with complete transparency.”Fox News Digital’s Danielle Wallace contributed to this report.
