Baby dolphin spotted with pod off Yorkshire coast

    A calf was spotted among a pod of about 13 dolphins A pod of 40 bottlenose dolphins spotted off the Yorkshire coast is one of the biggest seen in the past 12 months, according to an expert. The dolphins were reported off Filey, North Yorkshire, on Saturday. On the same day another group of about 13 was seen off the coast of Flamborough, East Yorkshire, just before 11:30 BST.   Robin Petch, of the Sea Watch Foundation, said a new-born calf was among the latter group and had been identified by foetal folds "showing it is no more than a few weeks old". The creatures, which appear to have migrated from the Moray Firth in Scotland, were either hunting for food or had gathered for mating, Mr Petch added. The new-born calf (far right) has been identified as "no more than a few weeks old" "It's just so exciting when they do get together like that," said Mr Petch. "You'll see them kind of rolling together, there's a lot ofi splashing and ac...

Israel vowed Hezbollah will “pay the price” after blaming the Lebanese militant group for a rocket attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that killed 12 children, touching off fears once again that an all-out war would envelop the region.



Hezbollah says it “firmly denies” it was behind the strike, the deadliest to hit Israel or Israeli-controlled territory since the October 7 attacks.

Israeli warplanes conducted airstrikes against Hezbollah targets “deep inside Lebanese territory” and along the border overnight Sunday, according to a statement from the military on Sunday morning. It was not immediately clear whether there were any casualties from those strikes.

And on a visit to the town of Majdal Shams near the Syrian and Lebanese borders, where the rocket attack left children and teenagers dead on Saturday, Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant pledged a heavy response.


“Hezbollah is responsible for this and they will pay the price,” Gallant said. In an earlier statement from his office, he added: “We will hit the enemy hard.”

The Saturday attacks on the region involved “approximately 30 projectiles” crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory, in a barrage Israel’s military quickly blamed on the Iran-backed militant group.
Fears of wider war spread
Israel and Hezbollah have been trading rocket fire on a near-daily basis since Hamas’ attacks on Israel on October 7, and those exchanges have become increasingly volatile, sparking fears on several occasions that Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza would spiral into a conflict on multiple fronts across the Middle East.
