Hamas praises Iran's salvo of missiles as 'heroic'
The Straits Times|October 03, 2024
CAIRO - Hamas praised on Oct 1 what it called Iran's "heroic" missile attacks avenging the deaths of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian Brigadier-General Abbas Nilforoushan.

"We congratulate the heroic rocket launch carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran, on large areas of our occupied territories, in response to the occupation's continuing crimes against the peoples of the region, and in retaliation for the blood of our nation's heroic martyrs," the group said.

Iran fired a salvo of ballistic missiles at Israel on Oct 1 in retaliation for Israeli strikes that killed the top leadership of its ally Hezbollah in Lebanon, including Nasrallah, a towering figure in Iran's network of fighters across the region.

In a statement, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said the attack was also in response to Israel's assassination in July of Haniyeh in Tehran.

Is Obesity a Disease?
The Straits Times

Is Obesity a Disease?

For years there has been a push to recognise obesity as a disease in its own right, and therefore something that needs to be treated in and of itself, rather than just as a risk factor for other things, such as diabetes, heart disease, strokes, and some cancers. And there is indeed much evidence that being obese can result in exceptionally poor health.
