|  | Thursday, March 5, 2026 | | | Good Morning! On this day in 1770, British soldiers opened fire on a mob of colonists in Boston in what later became known as the Boston Massacre.

Dan Caine confirmed on Wednesday. Watch the video here. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth called it a "quiet death" and said the U.S. is winning Operation Epic Fury "decisively, devastatingly and without mercy." On Wednesday, thousands of Kurds crossed from Iraq and launched a ground offensive in Iran. Now in its sixth day, the joint U.S.-Israeli campaign has hit nearly 2,000 targets inside Iran. Follow live updates here. Iran's ballistic missile launches are down 86% from day one, and the U.S. expects complete control of Iranian airspace within days. Six American service members were killed in a March 1 drone attack in Kuwait; four have been identified. | US and Ecuador Launch Operation Against Cartels The U.S. and Ecuador launched joint ground operations against narco-terrorist organizations this week, the first time American forces have participated in a ground mission inside Ecuador. U.S. Southern Command said American personnel served in an advisory capacity, providing planning and intelligence support while Ecuadorian soldiers conducted the operations. Ecuador has become one of the region's fastest-growing drug transit hubs, sandwiched between the world's two largest cocaine producers, Colombia and Peru, with drug seizures there nearly tripling since 2019. | Notre Dame Coaching Legend Lou Holtz Dies College football icon Lou Holtz passed away yesterday in Orlando, Florida, at the age of 89. He's remembered by many as one of the greatest coaches in college football history, especially by Notre Dame fans, where he coached for an 11-year span from 1986 to 1996. Holtz led six different programs to bowl games over a 33-year career (he's still the only coach in NCAA history to do so) and finished with 249 career wins. His crown jewel, however, will always be the 1988 Notre Dame team that went 12-0 and won the national championship, the program's last to date. After retiring from coaching in 2004, Holtz spent a decade as an analyst at ESPN, quickly becoming one of the sport's most recognizable personalities. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2008 and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Trump in 2020. Holtz had been in hospice care at his Orlando home since February, surrounded by family. He is survived by four children, including son and fellow coach Skip Holtz. See his career in images.
