Actor Salman Khan has in a lighter vein alluded to what's happening in his life - amid threats by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang - while anchoring the reality show Bigg Boss.

On Friday, Salman Khan was threatened allegedly by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, demanding Rs 5 crore to "end the enmity". A WhatsApp message sent to the Mumbai Traffic Police warned that if the money is not paid, then the actor's fate would be worse than that of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, who was murdered recently, allegedly by Lawrence Bishnoi gang members.

"Yaar, kasam khuda ki, what all I am going through in my life and I have to handle this," Salman Khan said in Bigg Boss, referring to bickering among the contestants.

His comment was also seen as alluding to the threats he has been dealing with in recent times, comparing it to the challenging task of steering the reality show.

The Mumbai Police has arrested several accused, who are allegedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, for plotting to kill actor Salman Khan.

Police sources said one of the arrested accused had been in touch with a Pakistan-based handler to plan the attack, which would include the use of guns such as the AK series assault rifles, smuggled from the neighbouring country.

Earlier this year, the Navi Mumbai police filed a first information report (FIR) against 18 people allegedly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang for plotting to kill Salman Khan. The FIR followed a shocking incident in which members of the gang fired outside Salman Khan's Bandra home.

The recent visa-on-arrival announcement builds on previous efforts to make travel easier for Indian nationals. Earlier in February 2023, Emirates airline, in collaboration with VFS Global, introduced a pre-approved visa-on-arrival service for Indian passport holders. “We've partnered with VFS Global to introduce a pre-approved visa on arrival facility for Indian passport holders who have booked their travel with us. The new process will help customers skip queues when arriving in Dubai,” they wrote on X at the time. 

In the same month, Dubai also began offering Indian nationals a five-year multiple-entry visa. This policy was introduced to enhance business, tourism, and economic ties between India and the UAE.

India remains a vital source of tourists for Dubai. In 2023, Dubai saw a 25 per cent rise in Indian visitors compared to pre-pandemic levels, with 2.46 million overnight stays recorded. This surge solidified India's position as Dubai's top tourism market, according to a report by Dubai's department of economy and tourism in February 2023.

Fighting raged on two fronts Sunday as Israel targeted what it said was a Hezbollah "command centre" in the Lebanese capital, while in Gaza rescuers reported 73 people killed in a single air strike. The strikes on Hezbollah's south Beirut stronghold came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the Iran-backed group of attempting to assassinate him by targeting his residence.

It also came as Israelis marked the major week-long Jewish holiday of Sukkot, which last year saw the October 7 Hamas attack that sparked the Gaza war.

Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA) said Israel's strikes on Beirut hit a residential building in Haret Hreik near a mosque and a hospital.

The Israeli military said it hit a Hezbollah "command centre of Hezbollah's intelligence headquarters" and underground weapons facility in Beirut, and that it also killed three Hezbollah militants in other strikes.

It later said about 70 projectiles fired from Lebanon crossed into Israel within a matter of minutes, and that it intercepted some of them.

Gaza's civil defence agency meanwhile said an Israeli air strike on a residential area killed at least 73 Palestinians in Beit Lahia in the territory's north.

"Our civil defence crews recovered 73 martyrs and a large number of wounded as a result of the Israeli air force targeting a residential area... in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza," said civil defence agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal.

The Israeli military said it struck a "Hamas terror target". It added that the toll figures given by Gaza authorities "do not align" with the information it possessed.

The military pressed its offensives in both Gaza and Lebanon, where it said its forces "struck approximately 175 terror targets".

The military said it continued to operate in northern, central and southern parts of Gaza.

"The troops eliminated dozens of terrorists during close-quarter encounters on the ground and aerial strikes" across Gaza, it said.

'Grave mistake'

In southern Lebanon, NNA later said Israeli strikes had targeted dozens of locations, including the city of Nabatiyeh for the third time this week.

The military said it "struck and eliminated over 65 Hezbollah terrorists... and struck dozens of Hezbollah terror targets" in southern Lebanon.

On Saturday, Netanyahu's office said a drone was launched towards his residence in the central town of Caesarea but he and his wife were away and there were no casualties.

"The attempt by Iran's proxy Hezbollah to assassinate me and my wife today was a grave mistake," the prime minister said.

"Anyone who tries to harm Israel's citizens will pay a heavy price," he said in comments directed at Tehran and "its proxies", which include Lebanon's Hezbollah, a group Israel has been at war with since late September.

Since then, the war has killed at least 1,454 people in Lebanon, according to an AFP tally of Lebanese health ministry figures.

The Lebanese group, armed and financed by Iran, did not acknowledge the attack, but late on Saturday Iran's mission to the United Nations said "this action was taken" by Hezbollah.

Hezbollah on Saturday said it launched rocket barrages at Israel's north, where rescuers said one man was killed by shrapnel.

Hamas, Hezbollah and allied Iran-backed groups in the region have vowed to keep fighting after Israeli troops on Wednesday killed the Palestinian movement's leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza, more than a year into the war triggered by Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.

"Hamas is a reality in Palestine that no one can ignore, no one can destroy," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.

Israel has vowed to respond to Iran's October 1 attack, in which Tehran said it had fired 200 missiles at its arch-foe in response to the killing of an Iranian general and Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.

'Every day a massacre'

The war was sparked by the unprecedented Hamas attack last year that resulted in the deaths of 1,206 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of official Israeli figures.

Israel's campaign to crush Hamas and bring back the hostages has killed 42,519 people in Gaza, mostly civilians, according to data from the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory, figures the UN considers reliable.

Israel, vowing to stop Hamas militants from regrouping in northern Gaza, launched a major air and ground assault on October 6, tightening its siege on the war-battered area and sending tens of thousands of people fleeing.

Civil defence spokesman Bassal said "we have recovered more than 400 martyrs from the various targeted areas in the northern Gaza Strip", including Jabalia and its refugee camp, since Israel's operation began.

Contacted by AFP, the Israeli military said it was looking into the civil defence agency's reports from Gaza, including that an overnight air raid on Jabalia killed 33 people.

"More than a year has passed, and every day our blood is shed," displaced Gazan Nasser Shaqura said outside a hospital in Deir el-Balah, where victims of an Israeli air strike were taken.

"Every day, every hour, there is a massacre," he said. "This is what our lives have become."

An Indian ex-official charged by the US with directing a murder-for-hire plot has dismissed the allegations, his family said, expressing shock that Vikash Yadav was wanted by the FBI. Yadav, 39, described the claims as false media reports when he spoke to his cousin, Avinash Yadav, the relative told Reuters on Saturday in their ancestral village about 100 km from Delhi.

The US Department of Justice charged Yadav with leading an unsuccessful plot to murder Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun last year. Yadav was an official of the Research and Analysis Wing spy service, according to the indictment unsealed on Thursday.

India, which has said it was investigating the allegations, said Yadav was no longer a government employee, without saying whether he had been an intelligence officer.

"The family has no information" about him working for the spy agency, Yadav's cousin said in the village of Pranpura in Haryana state. "He never mentioned anything about it," despite the two speaking to each other regularly.

"For us he is still working for the CRPF," the federal Central Reserve Police Force, which he joined in 2009, said Avinash Yadav, 28. "He told us he is deputy commandant" and was trained as a paratrooper.

The cousin said he did not know where Yadav was but that he lives with his wife and a daughter who was born last year.

Indian officials have not commented on Yadav's whereabouts. The Washington Post, citing American officials, reported on Thursday that Yadav was still in India and that the US was expected to seek his extradition.

His mother, Sudesh Yadav, 65, said she was still in shock. "What can I say? I do not know whether the U.S. government is telling the truth or not."

"He has been working for the country," she said.

The US accuses Yadav of directing another Indian citizen, Nikhil Gupta, who it alleges paid a hitman paid $15,000, to kill Pannun.

But in Pranpura, Yadav's cousin pointed to the family's modest, single-storey house, saying, "Where will so much money come from? Can you see any Audis and Mercedes lined up outside this house?"

Most of the village's nearly 500 families have traditionally sent young men to join the security forces, locals said.

Yadav's father, who died in 2007, was an officer with India's border force till he died in 2007, and his brother works with the police in Haryana, said Avinash Yadav.

Another cousin, Amit Yadav, 41, said Vikash Yadav had been a quiet boy interested in books and athletics and was a national-level marksman.

"Only the government of India and Vikash know what has happened," he said, adding that Indian officials should inform them.

If the government "abandons" a paramilitary officer, Amit Yadav said, "then who will work for them?"

Avinash Yadav said: "We want the Indian government to support us, they should inform us what has happened. Otherwise where will we go?"
