It is up to the United States to decide what to do with Taiwan's decommissioned HAWK anti-aircraft missiles, the island's Defence Minister Wellington Koo said on Wednesday, when asked if they would be transferred to Ukraine. The United States and its allies have provided billions of dollars of weapons to Ukraine since Russia attacked the country two years ago in what Moscow calls a "special military operation". Koo, speaking to reporter at parliament and responding to a question on whether Taiwan's decades-old HAWK missiles could go to Ukraine, said Taiwan no longer needed the weapons and their decommissioning was being handled in accordance with regulations.

A pregnant woman filed a lawsuit Tuesday seeking to restore the right to an abortion in Kentucky in the latest challenge to the state's near-total ban on the procedure. The suit, filed in state court in Louisville, claims that Kentucky laws blocking abortions violate the plaintiff's constitutional rights to privacy and self-determination. "Without the ability to decide whether to continue a pregnancy, Kentuckians have lost the right to make critical decisions about their health, bodies, lives and futures," the suit said.

Israel has begun a construction project along the so-called Alpha Line that separates the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights from Syria, apparently laying asphalt for a road right along the frontier, satellite photos analyzed by The Associated Press show. Israeli troops have entered the demilitarized zone during the work, the United Nations confirmed to the AP, a violation of the cease-fire rules governing the area. The work, which earlier satellite photos show began in earnest in late September, follows the completion by the Israeli military of new roadways and what appears to be a buffer zone along the Gaza Strip's frontier with Israel.

Israel's new Defence Minister Israel Katz has reportedly called for a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. "Iran is more vulnerable than ever to damage to its nuclear facilities. There is [now] a possibility of removing the threat," the newspaper Jerusalem Post cited the minister as saying on Monday, based on information from his office. Katz was previously the foreign minister and has only just taken over the defence portfolio following the dismissal of his predecessor Yoav Gallant. Israel accu

The Israeli military said on Monday that the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah fired around 165 rockets into the north of Israel. According to the Magen David Adom rescue service, a total of six people were injured, including a one-year-old child, in the Karmiel area of the Galilee and in the area of Kirjat Ata, just east of Haifa.

President-elect Donald Trump's choice for defense secretary is still up in the air, but it is a sure bet he will look to reshape the Pentagon and pick a loyalist. During his tumultuous first term, five men held the job as Pentagon chief only to resign, be fired or serve briefly as a stopgap. While he has yet to announce a decision, the names of potential Pentagon chiefs stretch from the well known — such as Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee — to an array of former administration loyalists, including retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, who held national security posts during Trump's first term.
