Israel kills top Hamas official in Beirut. Saleh al-Arouri, Hamas’s deputy political leader and a co-founder of its military wing, was killed in a suspected Israeli drone strike in Lebanon’s capital yesterday, Hamas confirmed. Israel has pledged to take out the Hamas leaders responsible for the Oct. 7 attack wherever they reside, and the assassination of al-Arouri (who was placed under a $5 million bounty from the US in 2015) was the first targeted strike against a Hamas official outside of Palestinian territories since the war broke out, per the Financial Times. Al-Arouri’s killing could intensify military activity along the Israel–Lebanon border, where the Israel Defense Forces and the militant group Hezbollah have been trading fire.
Two planes collided at Tokyo’s airport. A passenger plane hit a Japanese Coast Guard plane and burst into flames while landing at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport yesterday. All 367 passengers and 12 crew members were safely evacuated from the fiery Japan Airlines plane, but five crew members died on the Coast Guard aircraft, which was scheduled to deliver supplies to the area affected by a recent earthquake. Aviation accidents are rare, but the New York Times recently found that this type of collision, known as a runway incursion, is often only narrowly averted. The newspaper reviewed FAA data that showed such near misses increased by almost 25% in the last decade, although since 2018, the rate has been improving.
X’s value has plunged 71.5% since Elon Musk bought it, Fidelity says. It’s a good thing that Musk still owns several other successful companies, because Fidelity believes that the social media platform is worth a lot less than when the billionaire bought it for $44 billion in October 2022, Axios reports. That includes a decision by Fidelity, which owns a stake in X, to cut its estimate of X’s value by 10.7% in November after Musk publicly suggested that advertisers fleeing the platform over concerns about antisemitic postings “go f**k” themselves. The investment firm’s most recent valuation would put X’s value at ~$12.5 billion.
U.S. stocks started the year on a weak note as a sharp drop in Apple(AAPL) stock weighed on the technology sector and investors booked profits following an unexpectedly strong 2023. The S&P 500® index (SPX) closed at its lowest level in nearly two weeks.
Apple tumbled 3.6% to its lowest close since mid-November after Barclays downgraded the stock from "equal weight" to "underweight," citing "lackluster" iPhone 15 sales. Weakness in Apple and a slump in semiconductor shares helped send the Nasdaq Composite® (COMP) to a three-week low.
Nathan Peterson, director of derivatives analysis at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, said Tuesday's declines broadly reflected a combination of profit-taking and investor "rotation" into last year's underperforming sectors, specifically energy, health care, and utilities. Considering the S&P 500's 24% gain in 2023, a soft start to the new year wasn't necessarily a surprise.
