Netanyahu claims Hezbollah successors killed and Florida braces for Hurricane Milton
This is trending your daily rundown of news from the Middle East and around the world brought to you by The National. From Abu Dhabi, I'm Yasmin Altaji, here are today's headlines. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israeli forces have killed the successors of the assassinated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. We took out thousands of terrorists, including the asrallah himself, and asrallah's replacement, and the replacement of his replacement. Western Netanyahu didn't name any individuals, but defense minister Yohav Ghilat said Hashim Saifuddin, the man widely expected to replace Nasrallah, had probably been "eliminated." In the U.S., Florida is bracing for Hurricane Milton. At least 11 counties near Florida's west coast are under mandatory evacuation orders. The mayor of Tampa said the storm could be deadly. And I can say, without any dramatization, whatsoever, if you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you're going to die. The storm comes just two weeks after Hurricane Helene ravaged parts of the southeastern U.S. And in the UAE, embassies are urging people living in the Emirates illegally to take advantage of a visa amnesty initiative amid concerns many have missed the opportunity to lead or legalize their status. Officials told The National there are no plans to expand the October 31 deadline. That's all for this morning's headlines.
