By JERUSALEM POST STAFF APRIL 18, 2026 15:22 Updated: APRIL 18, 2026 15:43 A French UNIFIL soldier was killed, and three others were wounded during an attack in southern Lebanon, French President Emmanuel Macron announced in an X/Twitter post on Saturday. "Everything suggests that responsibility for this attack lies with Hezbollah," Macron wrote. "France demands that the Lebanese authorities immediately arrest the perpetrators and take their responsibilities alongside UNIFIL." Macron identified the soldier as Sgt. First Class Florian Montorio of the 17th Parachute Engineer Regiment from Montauban, France. Three other UNIFIL soldiers were wounded in the attack, Macron added, and all of them have been evacuated to a nearby hospital. UNIFIL acknowledged the attack in an X/Twitter post on Saturday, saying that the attack was perpetrated by "non-state actors."

An Ae‘o (Hawaiian Stilt) at the He‘eia National Estuarine Research Reserve – credit, Melissa Price UH Manoa. Challenging a 50-year-old narrative about Hawaii’s native birds, a new study from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa found no scientific evidence that indigenous people hunted waterbird species to extinction. Published in the journal Ecosphere, the research debunks this long-held myth and offers a new, integrated theory to explain the disappearances. It’s not the first time that modern science has put forward new explanations for dramatic island declines, ones often attributed to native peoples. Indeed in 2024, GNN reported that scientists at the University of Copenhagen had brought to bear genetic testing to prove that the natives of Easter Island did not, in fact, chop down all the trees on their island to build their giant stone heads, leading to a population collapse. In this new instance, the U of H authors suggest a new theory: the native Hawaiian birds died out because of a combination of climate change, invasive species, and changes in how the land was used—most of which happened either prior to Polynesian arrival, or after Europeans took over ownership of wild areas. The study also noted that now-endangered waterbirds

(Robyn BECK / AFP) The tech firm behind social network Snapchat cut 1,000 jobs on Wednesday, saying AI is boosting efficiency as it strives to be profitable. The shake-up at Snap involves about 16 percent of its full-time employees and elimination of more than 300 unfilled roles, chief executive Evan Spiegel said in a memo shared by the company. “We believe that rapid advancements in artificial intelligence enable our teams to reduce repetitive work, increase velocity and better support our community, partners and advertisers,” Spiegel wrote. “We have already witnessed small squads leveraging AI tools to drive meaningful progress across several important initiatives.” The southern California-based tech firm joins a growing list of companies reducing staff while extolling productivity gains resulting from the use of AI. “This is an incredibly difficult decision, and I am deeply sorry to the colleagues who will be leaving us,” Spiegel wrote. Snap expects to cut more than $500 million from its annual costs by the second half of this year, establishing “a clearer path to net-income profitability,” the memo said. Snap has

Johanna Abzug Johanna Abzug wanted to sell her things when moving from Texas to Spain — so she vibe coded a marketplace.

Two major California-headquartered companies announced significant workforce reductions this week as part of broader efforts to streamline operations and adapt to rapid technological changes in the entertainment and tech sectors. The Walt Disney Co. is eliminating approximately 1,000 positions across its studios, TV businesses, ESPN, unified marketing organization, product and technology groups, and certain corporate functions. The cuts were detailed in an internal memo from CEO Josh D’Amaro, who took over the role last month. In the memo sent to employees on April 14, 2026, D’Amaro wrote: “Over the past several months, we have looked at ways in which we can streamline our operations in various parts of the company to ensure we deliver the world-class creativity and innovation our fans value and expect from Disney. Given the fast-moving pace of our industries, this requires us to constantly assess how to foster a more agile and technologically-enabled workforce to meet tomorrow’s needs.
