JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military said Sunday it has carried out a ground raid into Syria, seizing a Syrian citizen involved in Iranian networks. It was the first time in the current war that Israel announced its troops operated in Syrian territory.
Israel has carried out airstrikes in Syria multiple times over the past year, targeting members of Lebanon’s Hezbollah and officials from Iran, the close ally of both Hezbollah and Syria. But it has not previously made public any ground forays into Syria.
Iran's supreme leader threatens Israel and US with 'a crushing response' over Israeli attack

Iran's supreme leader on Saturday threatened Israel and the U.S. with “a crushing response” over attacks on Iran and its allies.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei spoke as Iranian officials are increasingly threatening to launch yet another strike against Israel after its Oct. 26 attack on the Islamic Republic that targeted military bases and other locations and killed at least five people.
“The enemies, whether the Zionist regime or the United States of America, will definitely receive a crushing response to what they are doing to Iran and the Iranian nation and to the resistance front," Khamenei said in video released by Iranian state media.
The supreme leader did not elaborate on the timing of the threatened attack, nor the scope. The U.S. military operates on bases throughout the Middle East, with some troops now manning a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, battery in Israel.

Marc Benioff is reportedly in talks to sell Time for $150 million. The billionaire Salesforce co-founder, who bought the ailing US magazine for $190 million in 2018, is discussing a sale to Greek media company Antenna Group, CNBC reported. Once one of the most iconic weekly magazines in the US, Time has been forced to drastically cut its print circulation as news consumption shifts to the internet. Benioff bought Time from the media conglomerate Meredith Corporation, which owned the magazine for less than a year. The talks to sell Time again come a day after Comcast said it was exploring a sale of its traditional cable networks.

U.S. Rig Count Holds Steady Amid Mixed Market Signals

For the second consecutive week, U.S. energy firms kept the total rig count steady at 585 as of November 1, down 33 rigs, or 5%, from the same time last year, according to Baker Hughes.
Oil rigs dipped by one to 479, while gas rigs increased by one to 102. The rig count dropped about 20% in 2023 due to declining prices, inflation-driven costs, and a focus on debt reduction and shareholder returns over production growth.
While crude futures have declined by 2% in 2024 after last year’s 11% drop, gas futures have gained 6% following a 44% plunge in 2023. U.S. oil output rose to a record 13.4 million barrels per day in August, while gas production eased slightly to 115.9 billion cubic feet per day, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Oil prices edged up on Friday on reports Iran was preparing a retaliatory strike on Israel from Iraq in coming days, but record U.S. output weighed on prices.
Brent futuresclosed up 29 cents, or 0.4%, to settle at $73.10 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude gained 23 cents, or 0.3%, to settle at $69.49. At their session highs, both benchmarks were up over $2 a barrel.
Brent posted a weekly decline of about 4% with WTI down about 3%.
On Thursday, U.S. news website Axios reported that Israeli intelligence suggests that Iran is preparing to attack Israel from Iraq within days, citing two unidentified Israeli sources.
Iran and Israel have engaged in a series of tit-for-tat strikes within the broader Middle East warfare set off by fighting in Gaza. Previous Iranian air attacks on Israel on Oct. 1 and in April mainly were repelled, with only minor damage.
U.S. Energy Information Administration data showed that Iran is a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and produced about 4 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil in 2023.
