Acting Secretary of the Army Adam Telle has ordered that former U.S. Army Major Nidal Hasan be executed by firing squad at Fort Hood, Texas, at 1 p.m. CST on December 3, 2026, according to an Army execution order dated October 6. Hasan was convicted and sentenced to death for the November 5, 2009 shooting at Fort Hood that killed 13 people and wounded 32 others. The order states President Donald Trump approved the death sentence on October 2nd. The Pentagon announced Monday that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had recommended death by firing squad and that Trump approved.

Seven months before Israel’s pager attack, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah warned his fighters to stop carrying cell phones, calling them a major security vulnerability. Nasrallah warned: “Your cell phone is a lethal collaborator.” “[Israel] does not need human collaborators, because people carry cell phones with them wherever they go.” “Disable it, bury it, lock it in a metal box.” “The cell phones you, your wife, and your children hold are the collaborators.” Hezbollah subsequently shifted to using pagers instead.

According to Middle East Eye, citing Turkish officials, as a part of their commitment to the now activated Turkish-Saudi-Pakistani Mecca Joint Defense Agreement, Turkey will deploy troops, air defense systems, and aircraft to Saudi Arabia to defend against increasing attacks on the Gulf nation from the Houthis. Per the report, Turkey has forces, including technical teams, EW equipment, and aircraft defense systems, already in place since last year under a prior joint exercise agreement that allowed limited Turkish deployments to Saudi Arabia. The Turkish commitment to the Mecca Agreement expands the scale of Turkish deployments, now that the agreement has been activated. Turkish officials maintain that the deployments are purely defensive in nature.

Earlier today, French President Emmanuel Macron oversaw the first test of France’s M51.3 submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) from the SSBN Le Vigilant. The test followed the submarine’s Periodic Unavailability for Maintenance and Repair (IPER), comparable to the U.S. Navy’s extended overhaul periods.

A medical officer's plan to evacuate wounded soldiers at Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, was never briefed or put in place after she was sent to Jordan, according to an Associated Press investigation of the March 1st Iranian drone strike that killed six U.S. soldiers and wounded dozens in the opening day of Operation Epic Fury. AP reports the officer had prepared an evacuation plan that included collection points for moving the wounded. She was among a group sent to Jordan, and the plan was never implemented. Seven soldiers, including senior officers stationed at the port, told the AP the unit went into the war without a broad plan for a mass casualty event. After the strike, soldiers whose phones still worked used Google to find the nearest medical facilities, AP reports. One group of wounded was treated at a Kuwaiti hospital for about 48 hours, then stayed in residential homes in Kuwait for another week because Iranian missiles and drones made evacuation flights risky. They eventually flew to Germany on a cargo plane.
