Israel has launched a fresh wave of airstrikes across South Lebanon as tensions with Hezbollah continue to escalate despite a 45-day US-backed ceasefire agreement. The Israeli military says more than 30 Hezbollah-linked targets were struck within just 24 hours after multiple drone and rocket launches from southern Lebanon reportedly crossed into Israeli territory. The renewed violence comes amid rising fears of a wider Middle East conflict, with US-Iran tensions continuing to grow and diplomatic efforts struggling to hold the fragile truce together. Israeli airstrikes reportedly targeted several locations across South Lebanon, while Hezbollah claimed new retaliatory attacks, including strikes linked to Israel’s Iron Dome defense system. WATCH

A deadly Islamic State (ISIS) attack has struck U.S. forces stationed in central Syria, killing three Americans and injuring several others in a volatile region near Palmyra, according to U.S. Central Command. Officials confirm that two U.S. service members and one civilian interpreter were killed when a lone ISIS gunman opened fire on a military post operating outside full Syrian government control. Three additional U.S. soldiers were wounded in the assault and were airlifted to the Al Tanf garrison. Trump has strongly condemned the attack, calling it an act of ISIS terrorism and vowing "very serious retaliation" against those responsible. WATCH
