Good evening. Here's the latest at the end of Friday.
Israel killed a top Hezbollah commander in LebanonThe Israeli military said today that it had bombed an apartment building in Beirut's southern suburbs and killed a major figure in Hezbollah's military command. The strike stoked fears that Israel is driving toward a full-blown war against Hezbollah. Lebanese officials said that two apartment buildings had collapsed, killing at least 14 people and injuring at least 66 others, including children. Here's the latest. A spokesman for the Israeli military said that Ibrahim Aqeel had been killed while meeting with other commanders, and that they were all underneath the building. Hezbollah confirmed Aqeel's death. Aqeel was wanted by the U.S. in connection with two bombing attacks in 1983 that killed more than 350 people at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut and the U.S. Marine Corps barracks. The strike on the Hezbollah commanders was the latest in a series of humiliating blows to the group, coming just days after coordinated attacks blew up its pagers and walkie-talkies.

Georgia will count ballots by handGeorgia's election board today voted to force counties to hand-count all ballots cast on Election Day. Critics say this could significantly delay the reporting of results in the battleground state and inject chaos into the post-election period. The measure is the latest in a stream of right-wing election policies passed by the State Election Board, which critics believe has been rewriting the rules to favor Donald Trump. Last month, the board granted local officials new power over certifying the election, which opponents say could potentially disrupt the process if Trump loses in November.
Drug middlemen are being sued over high insulin pricesThe Federal Trade Commission said today that it had taken legal action against CVS Health's Caremark, Cigna's Express Scripts and UnitedHealth's Optum Rx and their subsidiaries. These pharmacy benefit managers have been accused of inflating insulin prices and steering patients toward higher-cost insulin products to increase their profits. P.B.M.s are responsible for negotiating prices with drug makers, paying pharmacies and helping decide which drugs are available and at what cost to patients. A Times investigation in June found that the benefit managers often act in their own interests, at the expense of patients, employers and taxpayers.
A nasal flu vaccine was approved for at-home useThe F.D.A. today authorized at-home use of FluMist, a first easy alternative to the annual flu shot for needle-shy people. AstraZeneca, which makes the treatment, said it would start a FluMist Home website, where people can fill out a questionnaire that will be reviewed by a pharmacist before the treatment is shipped to a person's home.

Loss and life in "His Three Daughters"In Netflix's "His Three Daughters," Natasha Lyonne, Carrie Coon and Elizabeth Olsen play sisters who are caring for their dying father. It's a hard, painful setup but also absurdly funny, intimate and human, our chief film critic, Manohla Dargis, writes. Azazel Jacobs, the director, is sensitive to life's contradictions. He knows how abruptly love seems to boil over into hate. Lyonne's performance as Rachel, the youngest daughter, is earning her Oscar talk. Our culture reporter spoke with Lyonne as she rushed to capitalize on her moment.
A game for the agesAwe-struck baseball fans can hardly believe the latest demonstration of greatness by Shohei Ohtani. In yesterday's game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Miami Marlins, Ohtani went six for six, slugged three home runs, drove in 10 runs and swiped two bases. As if that weren't enough, he also became the first player to hit 50 homers and steal 50 bases in the same season. No player in baseball history had hit three homers and stolen multiple bases in a game, until Ohtani did it. No player had collected more total bases, 17, in a multi-steal game. No player since at least 1901 had collected at least five hits, hit multiple home runs and stolen multiple bases in the same game. "That has to be the greatest baseball game of all time," said Gavin Lux, Ohtani's teammate. "It has to be." Dinner table topics

Saving an endangered species: The New York dinerFor my fellow New Yorkers: Kellogg's is reopening today. It's one of a few decades-old diners across the city that were spared from closing by new owners. These ventures are hiring chefs who can bring modern sensibilities to the beloved restaurants, ideally without losing too much of what made them special. Reviving Kellogg's might be a tough balance. It was a neighborhood institution, but that neighborhood has changed. My dad and I were regulars at Imperial Coffee House in Lower Manhattan until it shut down, and I lived around Kellogg's for close to 20 years. Hopefully this restoration works as intended so that more New York memories can be made. Have a revitalizing weekend. Thanks for reading.
