That's some of what we'll get to on The 7 from The Washington Post.

I'm Hannah Jewell.

It's Monday, September 23rd.

Let's get you caught up with today's seven stories.

Number one.

Israel's military announced it would launch more strikes on Lebanon.

Israel said its fighter jets hit 150 targets in Lebanon this morning.

A military spokesman called for residents of southern Lebanon to evacuate or move away from areas where the militant group Hezbollah could be operating.

Attacks across the Israeli-Lebanese border have increased since last week.

That's when electronic devices, including pagers belonging to Hezbollah, exploded across Lebanon in a presumed Israeli attack.

Yesterday, President Joe Biden and U.N. officials called for restraint, fearing that the violence could escalate into an all-out war.

U.N.

Secretary General Antonio Guterres sat down with Farid Zakaria of CNN yesterday.

He spoke about his concerns following the pager attack.

So the fact that these things existed means that there is a potential for a much stronger escalation, and that is what concerns me.

The possibility of transforming Lebanon in another Gaza, which I think would be a devastating tragedy for the world.

Israel and Hezbollah have said they will continue to attack each other.

Israel says it will carry on until security is restored to northern Israel.

And Hezbollah says it will continue firing rockets until the war in Gaza ends. 2.

Donald Trump's campaign has entered a turbulent phase in its final weeks.

Trump's top advisers have insisted for months that his 2024 bid for the presidency is the most disciplined campaign he has ever run.

They pointed to fewer leaks, less infighting, and a more deliberate strategy.

But the past three weeks have revealed a more chaotic side.

Whatever self-restraint that helped to launch Trump's campaign has largely disappeared.

He was criticized for his debate performance.

He has embraced conspiracy theorists.

And he even picked a fight with Taylor Swift.

This frenetic period for Trump's campaign has come in the crucial final stretch.

There are just over six weeks to go until Election Day. 3.

The suspect in the potential Trump assassination attempt will appear in court today.

Ryan Ruth has been behind bars since authorities arrested him on September 15.

That's when investigators say he pointed a rifle through a fence and into a golf course in Florida where Trump was playing.

Today, the 58-year-old suspect is expected to appear in federal court for a detention hearing.

The judge will review whether Ruth should remain in custody.

Prosecutors argue that Ruth poses a flight risk and is a danger to the community.

Ruth is facing two federal gun crimes charges.

But he could face more serious charges as the investigation continues.

He's expected to enter his plea of guilty or not guilty at his arraignment on September 30. 4.

Lawmakers agreed to a deal to avert a looming government shutdown.

The House and the Senate have until next Monday to beat a shutdown deadline.

If they fail to extend funding, the government would shut down on October 1.

That's just as millions of Americans will begin early voting.

But yesterday, congressional leaders made some progress.

They reached an agreement that would extend federal funding until December 20.

The deal sets up a frenzied week in Congress.

Republicans and Democrats will have to work together to beat next week's deadline. 3.

A health system agreed to pay a $65 million settlement after a hack of nude patient photos.

That's our fifth story.

Hackers stole information and photos of hundreds of cancer patients from the Lehigh Valley Health Network in northeast Pennsylvania.

The network discovered the hack last year.

And a proposed settlement in a class-action lawsuit was reached earlier this month.

It still requires a judge's approval.

Eighty percent of the $65 million settlement is earmarked for those whose nude photos were published to the dark web.

The episode highlights the risk of cyberattacks and their legal aftermath for health care organizations with especially sensitive information.

Some experts say health care organizations have made significant headway in shoring up their cyber defenses.

But they remain vulnerable in large part due to their complexity. 6.

Asia Wilson and Kaitlyn Clark snagged two of the WNBA's top honors.

It has been a trailblazing, record-smashing season for women's basketball.

That's in large part thanks to two of the sport's biggest stars.

Las Vegas Aces center Asia Wilson was named MVP for the third time yesterday.

She joined Hall of Famer Cynthia Cooper in becoming the second player in league history to capture every first-place vote.

Last week, she also became the first player in league history to reach 1,000 points in a season.

And also yesterday, Indiana Fever guard Kaitlyn Clark was named the Rookie of the Year by the Associated Press.

She broke records this season, too, and led the league in three-pointers.

But her first-ever postseason game ended last night in a loss to the Connecticut Sun.

And she got a black eye.

The playoffs continue this week.

And at number 7, travel appears to slow the aging process.

If you've ever come back from vacation and felt a lot better, or even more youthful, it turns out there may actually be a scientific explanation.

Researchers in Australia published a new study looking into how travel affects our health.

It found that the positive experiences associated with taking trips actually help to delay the body's decline.

When on vacation, people tend to have more social interactions, do physical activity, spend time in nature, and eat healthier cuisines.

According to the study, all of that contributes to slowing down the aging process.

So go ahead and start planning your next trip.

It's the healthy thing to do.

That's the show for today.
