Net income rose to 127.8 billion yen ($1.197 billion) in the October-December quarter from 125.6 billion yen a year earlier, the Japanese electronics maker said in a release. Sales of office equipment and cameras largely offset a rise in research and development expenses. Read more

Israel launched an advanced spy satellite Monday that will be able to track events in Iran, the country it considers its top foe, even at night and in cloudy weather, defense officials said.

The satellite, developed by Israel Aerospace Industries, operates with a special radar system, allowing it to view much more than existing Ofek satellites that use cameras, the officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press. Read more
