Singer Ricky Martin is speaking out after a restraining order against him was dropped

A Puerto Rico court has closed a restraining order issued against Ricky Martin, which was filed under domestic violence laws.

It follows Martin’s nephew dropping allegations of harassment and incest.

The nephew claims he and Martin shared a romantic relationship for several months.

But the 50-year-old musician says he was the “victim of a lie” from a relative that was “struggling with mental problems”.

“I have worked for almost four decades, on stage, in the public eye, and never have I had to deal with anything as painful as what I’ve been living with over the past two weeks.”

The singer says he was staying silent until appearing before a judge.

He denies any wrongdoing into the alleged matters.

Israel expands military strikes in Lebanon

Israel has widened its military operations in Lebanon, launching a deadly airstrike in the northern region. The attack, which targeted a house sheltering displaced families, killed at least 21 people, leaving eight others injured, according to health officials. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble for survivors.

This shift marks a significant escalation, as Israel had previously focused its strikes on the south, the Bekaa Valley, and Beirut’s outskirts. Meanwhile, millions of Israelis are taking cover from cross-border rocket fire as the violence intensifies. Israel has also ordered the evacuation of 25 villages in southern Lebanon. Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to continue targeting Hezbollah “without mercy,” even extending operations to Beirut. In eastern Lebanon, civilians like Jalal Ferhat and his family have fled toward the Syrian border in a desperate attempt to escape the worsening conflict.
