Two Israeli strikes target southern Lebanon
Two Israeli strikes have targeted southern Lebanon, despite an ongoing ceasefire, according to our correspondent on the ground, Zeina Khodr. At least one person was killed during the strike in Kunin, and so far, no casualties have been reported in the second strike in Nabatieh.
In recent weeks, Israel has intensified its strikes while accusing Hezbollah of rearming and rebuilding its capacities. Israeli troops have also continued to undertake incursions into Lebanese territory.
US military leader meets Israeli counterpart in visit to Israel
The US’s highest-ranking military officer has met his Israeli counterpart and taken a helicopter tour over Gaza, US military sources tell Al Jazeera.
General Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is the highest-ranking US military official to visit the region since the ceasefire went into effect earlier this month.
Israeli media reported that Caine met with Israeli army chief Eyal Zamir at the military headquarters in Tel Aviv.
The sources told Al Jazeera that Caine took part in intelligence briefings and would present a report to Trump and US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at the end of his tour.
A number of senior Trump administration officials have visited Israel this month in a push to ensure the top US ally abides by the ceasefire agreement and to iron out next steps, including the proposed deployment of an international force in Gaza.
