The White House says “it’s the right time” for Israel to scale back its military offensive in the Gaza Strip, even as Israeli leaders vow to intensify their operation against the territory’s ruling Hamas militant group. The U.S. comments on Sunday exposed the growing differences between the close allies on the 100th day of the war. Also Sunday, Israeli warplanes struck targets in Lebanon following a Hezbollah missile attack in northern Israel that killed two Israeli civilians — an older woman and her adult son. The exchange of fire underscored concerns that the Gaza violence could trigger wider fighting across the region.
In the midst of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, an anti-tank missile from Lebanon struck a home in northern Israel, killing two civilians. This incident raises concerns about a potential second front in the war. Tensions have escalated regionally, with Hezbollah and Iranian-backed militias engaging with Israel. The death toll in Gaza has led to South Africa accusing Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice, while the U.S. shields Israel from calls for a truce. The situation remains volatile, with fears of a broader conflict looming.
