Global Flashpoints: From Hezbollah's Resilience to Trudeau's Survival

Current global news highlights include Hezbollah's resistance against Israeli attacks, Trudeau's expected survival in a confidence vote, China's intensified border surveillance against North Korean defectors, and Russia's advances in eastern Ukraine. Other notable stories cover US charges against a Trump gunman, Russia's secret drone project in China, and escalating Israeli-Hezbollah conflict.

Hezbollah's flexible chain of command, supplemented by its extensive tunnel network and a large cache of missiles, is enabling the group to survive unprecedented Israeli airstrikes, according to sources familiar with the operations. The strikes, targeting senior commanders and explosives, have significantly impacted the Lebanese Shiite militant group.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is poised to withstand a vote of confidence as his main opposition lacks the requisite support to challenge his Liberal Party's governance. The House of Commons will vote on the motion raised by the Conservative party regarding Trudeau's minority government.

China's northeast border police have received quotas to identify and expel undocumented migrants in a bid to enhance surveillance against North Korean defectors. This initiative involves new deportation centers, advanced facial recognition cameras, and increased boat patrols, making escape increasingly difficult for defectors.
