Israel and Hezbollah engage in cross-border attacks as ceasefire talks continue

Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah engaged in a new round of cross-border attacks on Wednesday as negotiators push for Hamas to accept the latest ceasefire proposal.

An Israeli airstrike in Sidon, Lebanon, killed Khalil al Maqdah, who the Israel Defense Forces said was a terrorist with ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. His brother Mounir is also involved in the Guard, and Israeli officials accused both of them of facilitating the smuggling of weapons into the West Bank.
