Israel, Hezbollah trade fire as war in Middle East escalates
Israel and Hezbollah exchanged heavy fire across the Lebanese border Sunday, killing four combatants before they stopped one of their biggest clashes of the past 10 months. Both sides said they aimed only at military targets, with Israel's armed forces saying a navy officer was killed in combat and two other service members were wounded. Two Hezbollah fighters and a militant from an allied group were also killed. Israel said about 100 of its jets attacked 40 sites in Lebanon in a series of preemptive strikes.

San Francisco to Elon Musk: 'Good riddance'

San Francisco officials are giving Elon Musk and his companies the kind of rude kiss-off he's known for: "Good riddance!" The miffed Musk has announced he's packing up and taking X headquarters from San Francisco off to Austin, Texas, and moving SpaceX from Hawthorne, California, to the Longhorn State. Musk is quitting the state in a snit, he says, over a new California law that prohibits schools from notifying parents if their children expresses a desire to change their gender identity. Musk cited the gender identity law as the state's "final straw."
