An Israeli strike in southern Lebanon resulted in the death of at least 10 people. The strike targeted a weapons warehouse used by Hezbollah, the Lebanese militia backed by Iran. The death toll, which could not be independently confirmed, is one of the highest in the ongoing clashes between Lebanon and Israel. Recent killings of senior leaders from Hezbollah and Hamas have further intensified tensions in the region. Efforts are being made by mediators to achieve a cease-fire, with Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken scheduled to travel to Israel to help facilitate talks.
