The Israeli military on Sunday killed Hezbollah's top military official, Haytham Ali Tabtabai, in a strike on the outskirts of the Lebanese capital that came despite a year-long ceasefire. His killing was announced by Israel's military.

A Palestinian police officer, identified as Younis Ishtayeh, shot and wounded an Israeli soldier in the West Bank on Thursday, and Israeli counterterrorism forces killed the suspect the next day. The incident adds to growing signs of rising violence in the West Bank following months of general calm.

Violence has repeatedly flared up in the weeks since a cease-fire was reached, killing hundreds of Palestinians and at least three Israeli soldiers.

Israel’s forced removal of tens of thousands of Palestinians from refugee camps in the occupied West Bank earlier this year amounts to war crimes and crimes against humanity, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has alleged.

Israel struck Lebanon’s capital for the first time since June, saying it targeted Hezbollah’s chief of staff and warning the Iran-backed militants to not regroup.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have revealed the discovery of a vast underground tunnel system in Rafah, which was used by Hamas during years of conflict in the Gaza Strip. The military says this structure was also the location where the body of Lieutenant Hadar Goldin was secretly held following his death in the 2014 war.
