Fencing is a combat sport in which two competitors score points by making contact with an opponent using a sword. It has three main disciplines: foil, épée and sabre, each with its own blade and rules. In foil and sabre, a touch counts only on certain target areas, while in épée the whole body is a valid target. Most competitive fencers specialise in one discipline. The modern sport took shape near the end of the 19th century, evolving from historical European swordsmanship, with the Italian school changing classical fencing and the French school later refining it.

Israeli reports also say the cabinet directed the military to prepare for a possible new attack on Iran.

Angkor, near Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, was the capital of the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of mainland Southeast Asia between roughly the 9th and 15th centuries. At its height the city spread across about 3,000 square kilometres, making it the largest pre-industrial city on Earth by area. Its growth depended on water: huge reservoirs called barays, along with canals and embankments, stored monsoon rain and carried it to rice fields. That system let farmers harvest more than once a year and fed a very large population through the dry season. The temple complex of Angkor Wat, built in the early 12th century, is the best-known monument and still stands at the heart of the park.
