Israel Links Return of Lebanese Displaced to Security of Its Northern Communities

                                A dog looks on next to displaced people at the corniche after rainfall, in Beirut, Lebanon. Israel has stated that tens of thousands of displaced Lebanese civilians will not be able to return to their homes in southern Lebanon until Israeli residents evacuated from the country’s north can safely go back to their own communities. The position underscores how deeply intertwined the two displacement crises have become amid ongoing cross‑border hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.

Winter’s Arrival: Toronto Prepares for Sunday Snowfall

                                            Toronto snow.

Toronto is under a special weather statement as forecasters predict 2 to 10 cm of snow across the Greater Toronto Area beginning Sunday morning and continuing into the evening. The system is expected to bring a mix of rain and snow, with temperatures hovering near freezing, raising the possibility of slippery roads and transit delays.

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has already begun winter preparations, including salting platforms and readying snow-clearing equipment. Commuters are advised to plan ahead, as the first snowfall often leads to slower service and longer travel times.

Poor driving conditions are likely, especially for those who have not yet switched to winter tires. Motorists are urged to adjust travel plans and allow extra time on the roads.

This marks the first significant snowfall of the season for Toronto, signaling the transition into colder, unsettled weather. While some areas closer to Lake Ontario may see lighter accumulation, inland regions could experience heavier snow.

Residents are encouraged to bundle up, prepare for icy sidewalks, and keep an eye on updated forecasts as the city braces for winter’s arrival.
