Israel strikes Lebanon as Hezbollah targets military post
BEIRUT — Israel struck targets in Lebanon on Monday evening after vowing to retaliate for an attack by Hezbollah on a military post, with both sides accusing each other of violating last week's ceasefire.At least 11 people, including a security officer, were killed by Israeli strikes on two southern Lebanese villages, as it continues its assaults on the country since the ceasefire with Hezbollah came into effect last week.The truce agreement was pushed to the brink on Monday as Israel’s air strikes killed two people, and Hezbollah launched an attack against an Israeli military position in retaliation.Hezbollah said on Monday that it carried out a “preliminary defensive response” to the “repeated violations” of the ceasefire by attacking an Israeli military base in the hills...

Syrian and Russian jets step up strikes on rebels after opposition seizes much of Aleppo
ALEPPO — Syrian and Russian jets are stepping up strikes on opposition forces in northern Syria in retaliation for the sudden offensive that has cost the regime control of the country’s second largest city, Aleppo.The offensive has also led to the capture by the rebel alliance of an important military base east of Aleppo and large areas of both Aleppo and Idlib provinces. It has met little resistance on the ground from regime forces and also comes at a time when Syria’s key backers -- Iran and Russia -- are focusing on their own conflicts.The rebels’ sweeping success has posed the biggest challenge in eight years to President Bashar al-Assad, when Russian air power helped reverse rebel gains in the civil war.The newly formed rebel coalition, which calls itself the Military...

Israel warns Lebanese against returning to 60 villages in the south
LONDON — The Israeli military has warned Lebanese citizens not to return to 60 villages in the south of the country, three days into a ceasefire after more than a year of fighting with the armed group Hezbollah.The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) published a map showing a swathe of territory several miles deep, which it said residents must not return to. Anyone who did, it said, would be putting themselves in danger.More than a million Lebanese have been displaced by the fighting, mostly from the south. Tens of thousands of Israelis have also been displaced.The truce came into effect on Wednesday morning, though officials in Israel and Lebanon have accused each other of already breaching it.On Thursday, the IDF said its forces fired artillery and carried out air strikes against targets in...

Displaced Palestinians in Gaza suffer in harsh weather
GAZA — Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who have been displaced multiple times from Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip are now facing another threat – the arrival of harsh winter weather.On Sunday, the first strong storm to hit Gaza this winter was felt in all parts of the enclave.In a makeshift displacement camp near the sea in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, thousands of families battled high tides, heavy winds and rainfall that damaged their nylon and plastic tents.Journalists for CNN saw children walk around barefoot while their parents shoveled in the sand, attempting to build a protective barrier from the sea. Before they could make much progress, the tide washed it away.“It’s pointless!” one man shouted.“We came here because the sea was our only protection. And...

Israel to appeal against ICC warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant
TEL AVIV — Israel will appeal against the International Criminal Court's arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant.Judges last week issued warrants for the two men along with Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif, saying there were reasonable grounds to believe the three men bore criminal responsibility for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.Israel's government, along with Netanyahu and Gallant, strongly rejected the accusations.On Wednesday, the prime minister's office said it had informed the ICC of its "intention to appeal to the court along with a demand to delay implementation of the arrest warrants".It reiterated that Israel both denied the authority of the ICC and the legitimacy of the...

KIBBUTZ MENARA — In Kibbutz Menara in northern Israel, the sound of gunfire from across the border marked the first day of the ceasefire with Hezbollah.Menara sits face to face with the Lebanese village of Meiss el-Jabal.

US to start immediately on fresh push for Gaza ceasefire
LONDON — President Joe Biden has said the US will make another push with regional powers for a ceasefire in Gaza, involving the release of hostages and the removal of Hamas from power.His remarks on X come just hours after a ceasefire came into force in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah, ending nearly 14 months of conflict.Hamas said it hoped for a similar deal in Gaza but continues to reject Israel's demands, which it perceives as surrender.Israel launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to the group's unprecedented attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.More than 44,000 people have been killed and more than 104,000 injured in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run...
