  • The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 43,000, with the majority being civilians, according to the Hamas-run health ministry and the United Nations.
  • In Lebanon, Israeli forces have significantly degraded Hezbollah's military capabilities, reducing rocket fire and displacing over 1.2 million people in southern Lebanon and Beirut suburbs.
  • U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein is mediating ceasefire talks in Lebanon, with progress reported, while the U.S. vetoed a UN Security Council resolution for a Gaza ceasefire, citing concerns over emboldening Hamas.
  • Israeli officials claim recent military campaigns have restored their strategic edge against Iran and its proxies, raising discussions about potential actions on Iran's nuclear program.
