Israel fires on Lebanon / response to rockets fired at Israeli targets
Israel struck Lebanon in retaliation for rockets targeting Israel, in the heaviest exchange of fire since the ceasefire with Hezbollah. Earlier, rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel for the second time since December, sparking concern about whether the fragile ceasefire would hold. Israel’s Prime Minister’s office said Saturday it instructed the army to act forcefully against dozens of targets in Lebanon. Hezbollah began launching rockets, drones and missiles into Israel the day after Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack out of Gaza ignited the war there. A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that it was not responsible for the attack.
3 dead in Russian attacks / Attacks come despite limited truce
Ukrainian officials say Russian drones have struck the city of Zaporizhzhia, killing three people and wounding 12. The attack Friday night set fire to residential buildings, cars and infrastructure despite Moscow agreeing to a limited ceasefire. A Ukranian governor published photos showing emergency services scouring the rubble for survivors. Ukraine and Russia agreed in principle to a limited ceasefire after U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with the countries’ leaders this week. The three sides appeared to hold starkly different views about what the deal covered.
