Another Israeli attack on the Jnah neighbourhood in Beirut killed four people and injured 39 others, the ministry added.

The strike on Kfarhata followed an overnight evacuation order ​by the Israeli military instructing residents to leave the village.

As Lebanese Christians, who make ​up roughly a third of the population, marked Easter Sunday, the country experienced ⁠one of its most violent days since fighting with Israel erupted early last month.

Throughout the ​day, Beirut echoed with the sounds of strikes and the screech of low-flying planes overhead. The southern ​suburbs of the capital were hit by eight airstrikes, state media reported.

Earlier on Sunday, the Lebanese army said a soldier had been killed in an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon.

On Saturday, the Israeli military issued an evacuation ​warning targeting Lebanon’s Masnaa border crossing with Syria, the main entry point connecting the two ​countries, alleging it was being used by the Lebanese Hezbollah armed group for military purposes.

Lebanon was drawn into the ‌Middle ⁠East conflict when Iranian-backed Hezbollah began to launch rockets at Israel on March 2 in support of Tehran.

Israel has launched strikes on Lebanon and invaded the south in what has become the most violent spillover of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

By late March, more than 400 Hezbollah fighters had been ​killed, sources told Reuters. At ​least 10 Israeli ⁠troops have been killed in southern Lebanon in the same period, the Israeli military has said.

The Lebanese health ministry said 1,461 people had been ​killed in Israeli attacks in Lebanon as of Sunday, raising the death ​toll since ⁠the start of the war by 39 in around 24 hours. More than one million people have been displaced.

Israel said it intends to control a “security zone” as deep as 30 km (20 miles) into Lebanese ⁠territory. It ​has issued evacuation orders covering around 15% of Lebanese ​territory.

But tens of thousands of Lebanese have remained in their homes in the south, including around 9,000 Lebanese Christians living ​in a cluster of border towns, who told Reuters they were determined to stay.

After a darker turn in the previous season, there was a quiet concern that audiences might drift away from Deborah Vance. Instead, the opposite happened. Viewers stayed, invested as ever, willing to follow the character into more uncomfortable, complicated territory. That response seems to have shaped the tone of what’s coming next.

Hacks, Season five, from the sound of it, is a reset of sorts. Lighter, looser, and more playful. Jean Smart appears genuinely relieved to return to that space — not as a retreat, but as a natural swing back after pushing the character to heavier emotional ground. There’s a sense that the show earned this shift.

Behind the scenes, the creators have been ticking off long-held ideas before closing the curtain — from diving deeper into fan culture to experimenting with more surreal, offbeat moments. It’s the kind of creative freedom that tends to surface when a series knows it’s nearing the end, when there’s less hesitation and more instinct.

For Smart, now in her seventies, Hacks hasn’t just been another successful role — it’s quietly reshaped the later stretch of her career. There’s a recognition, almost understated, that opportunities like this didn’t always exist. Not for women her age, at least.

That landscape, she suggests, has shifted. Slowly, but meaningfully. Stories are broader now. Messier. More reflective of reality. And that includes older women who, for a long time, were written to the margins.

With Hacks returning on April 9, the final season looks less like a farewell weighed down by legacy — and more like one last, confident performance, with room to be a little ridiculous again.

The National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) on Sunday issued a complete list of over 3,000 e-sahulat franchises set up across the country to serve consumers.

The list also contains information about the owners of these franchises.

Similarly, they have informed that parents can also obtain B-forms (child birth certificates) for their kids under 10 years of age, while the CNICs of dead persons are also cancelled at these centers.

The officials have said that the people living in far-flung areas will no longer need to visit the NADRA offices since these franchises will offer them all the facilities they require.

The goalless draw left PSV, who had won 4-3 at home to Utrecht on Saturday, with an ​unassailable lead with five matches left in this season’s Eredivisie.

PSV advanced ​to 71 points from 29 games on Saturday, meaning Feyenoord ⁠had to win to keep alive their slim hopes, but the draw ​at Volendam left them with 54 points – 17 points adrift.

PSV’s triumph set off ​immediate celebrations in the streets of Eindhoven, where fans had been waiting in expectation of Feyenoord’s failure to win.

Saturday’s win virtually assured them of the title given a much superior ​goal difference with PSV +42 to Feyenoord’s +21 but Sunday’s draw for Feyenoord confirmed PSV’s success.

It is the third ​time in the club’s history that PSV have won three championships in a row. They ‌won ⁠four in a row between 1986 and 1989 and again four on the trot between 2005 and 2008 and now have a total of 27 league titles, bettered only by Ajax Amsterdam’s tally of 36.

PSV will compete in the Champions ​League group phase ​for the fourth ⁠successive campaign next season. The runners-up also go into the 2026-27 group phase and the third-place finishers into the third qualifying round.

Feyenoord are only ​one point above surprise package NEC Nijmegen with Twente ​moving up ⁠to fourth spot after beating Ajax 2-1 away on Saturday.

PSV will be presented with the trophy on Tuesday at a ceremony at Philips Stadion. A blemish ⁠on their ​celebrations is the cruciate ligament injury sustained ​by captain Jerdy Schouten against FC Utrecht, which means the 29-year-old midfielder will miss the World ​Cup in June.

According to reports, under the new directives, markets and commercial plazas in divisional headquarters will close at 9:00 PM, while in other districts, they will shut by 8:00 PM.

Restaurants, cafes, wedding halls, and all events have been instructed to conclude by 10:00 PM in KP. However, home delivery and takeaway services will be allowed to continue beyond closing hours.

The revised timings by the KP government will also apply to private offices, academies, banks, jewellery shops, and fitness centres.

Industrial, manufacturing, and export units have been exempted from these restrictions. However, showrooms and retail outlets associated with industries will be required to follow the prescribed business hours.

The KP government has also directed that unnecessary and decorative lighting, including façade and ornamental lights, must remain switched off.

The authorities said the move is aimed at reducing electricity consumption and promoting efficient energy use in commercial activities.

All administrative secretaries and commissioners have been instructed to ensure strict implementation, while deputy commissioners will monitor markets at the district level to enforce the orders.

Similarly, the Government of Balochistan announced new operating hours for markets, wedding halls, and restaurants across the province.

According to the Balochistan Home Department, all markets and shopping centres in Quetta will now close at 8:00 PM.

However, essential services, including medical stores, tandoors, and naan shops, have been exempted from the restrictions.

Officials further stated that all events at wedding halls, banquet halls, and hotels must conclude by 10:00 PM.

Restaurants and hotels have also been directed to shut operations by 10:00 PM, as per orders issued by the Additional Chief Secretary (Home).

The new timings have been implemented as part of administrative measures to regulate business hours in the province.

Yes, that may involve revisiting Twilight, but don’t anticipate glittery nostalgia. Kristen Stewart wants to make a change. “I know, imagine if we had a huge budget and a bunch of love and support,” she stated, continuing, “I would love to readapt. I’m doing it. I’m committed.” It sounds informal and not at all threatening.

Kristen Stewart has obviously been taking notes after studying under directors such as Pablo Larraín and Catherine Hardwicke for years, and now she is prepared to change the rules. The irony is that while she dabbles in blockbuster territory, she is also planning a wildly independent endeavor.

“I need 10 people to help make this movie with me in Los Angeles… I don’t need to make any money. We will make this in the dead of night and nobody will know it. F–king try to shut us down. That’s the way I want to make my next movie,” she said.

The translation? No studios, no notes, no nonsense. 2026 may be Stewart’s busiest year to date due to her extensive performing schedule, which includes projects connected to Amazon, alongside her aspirations to direct.

“I want to make my next movie so badly,” she confessed, adding, “So I need to stop eating this one over and over and over.” Put another way, she is done looking back, and Hollywood may want to follow suit.

Earlier, a proposal was given to shut down all markets, bazaars, and commercial zones at 8:00 PM to combat the ongoing energy crisis, ARY News reported.

According to details, the federal government has accelerated consultations with all four provinces, as well as Gilgit-Baltistan, to develop an energy-saving program in response to regional tensions and rising costs.

Sources within the Ministry of Energy revealed that under the new conservation plan, a revised schedule for shops and markets across the country has been proposed.

The ministry suggests that bazaars and commercial zones operate from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Meanwhile, it has been suggested that restaurants and hotels close by 10:00 PM.

To implement the program effectively, all provincial governments, chambers of commerce, and various trade organizations have been asked to submit their feedback.

Additionally, energy consumption data has been collected from all power distribution companies (DISCOs) to ascertain exactly how much electricity can be saved through these timing adjustments.

Medics said the airstrike targeted a group of people in Jaffa Street, near the Darraj neighbourhood in Gaza City, killing ​four people and wounding others.

The Israeli military said forces in ​the northern Gaza Strip had struck and killed members of a ⁠Palestinian militant cell who were operating near the troops, posing an ​immediate threat to them.

Palestinian militant group Hamas and Israel have traded blame for ​violations of the ceasefire agreed last October, which halted two years of full-blown war.

The Gaza health ministry says Israeli fire has killed at least 700 people since the ​ceasefire began. Israel says four soldiers have been killed by militants in ​Gaza over the same period.

A Hamas delegation met Egyptian, Qatari and Turkish mediators in ‌Cairo ⁠last week to give its initial response to a disarmament proposal presented to the group last month, two Egyptian sources and a Palestinian official said.

The group has told mediators it will not discuss giving up arms without guarantees ​that Israel will ​fully quit Gaza ⁠as laid out in a disarmament plan from U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace”, three sources told Reuters on Thursday.

Hamas’ disarmament ​is a sticking point in talks to implement Trump’s ​plan for ⁠the Palestinian enclave and cement the ceasefire.
Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel killed 1,200 people, according to Israeli tallies.

Israel’s ensuing two-year campaign killed more ⁠than ​72,000 Palestinians, most of them civilians, according to ​Gazan health authorities, and has spread famine, demolished most buildings, and displaced most of the ​territory’s population, in many cases numerous times.

When the 35-year-old music sensation and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, attended the event in 2024, they appeared to be having a great time as they sang and danced together. The “Anti-Hero” hitmaker is predicted to attend the Coachella sets of her friends, Sombr and Sabrina Carpenter. Both artists have highly anticipated appearances scheduled for the festival.

Carpenter is set to perform on April 11 and 18 as one of this year’s headliners, alongside Lady Gaga and Post Malone. Meanwhile, Sombr is scheduled to perform on April 12 and April 19.

Excited fans instantly raced to the comments section, collectively wishing, “SABRINA NEEDS TO BRING OUT TAYLOR OMG,” referencing a potential duet of their “Life of a Showgirl” collaboration. Some even joked, “I need Sabrina to arrest Taylor Swift ,” alluding to Carpenter’s “Juno” arrest tradition.

Despite the rumors, Taylor Swift’s attendance has not been officially verified.

Earlier this month, Zara Larsson was defending herself after seemingly criticising Taylor Swift and her fanbase.

The Lush Life hitmaker sparked major backlash with her interview with The Guardian, published April 3, in which she revealed why she refuses to release a single before the deluxe edition of her album Midnight Sun  because “playing the chart game is so dead.” She further noted, “No one’s looking at the charts but industry people and maybe Taylor Swift fans”.

Hours later, the Swedish pop star took to her Instagram Stories to clarify her comments, insisting it came from a place of admiration and even envy for Swift.

“Tuesday will be Power ​Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped ​up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” Trump said in a Truth ​Social post, referencing the key shipping ​lane that Tehran has effectively closed since the U.S. ‌and ⁠Israel launched attacks on Iran more than a month ago.

“Open the F*****’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living ​in Hell – ​JUST ⁠WATCH!,” Trump said, ending his Easter morning post with: “Praise be to ​Allah.”

The president separately said he ​would ⁠hold a news conference on Monday in the Oval Office, after the U.S. military ⁠rescued ​two U.S. pilots whose ​aircraft were downed in Iran.
