Lebanon's parliament elects US-backed army chief as head of state after 12 failed attempts
Following tense scenes early in the session, the first round of Thursday's vote concluded with 71 votes for Joseph Aoun, the widely supported army commander.
Israel has launched a high-stakes airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburbs, eliminating top Hezbollah and Quds Force commander Hassan Ali Badir. Badir, also a senior Hamas operative, was reportedly orchestrating attacks against Israeli civilians. The IDF, Mossad, and Shin Bet coordinated the strike, which killed at least 3 people and injured 7, according to Lebanese authorities. Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun has condemned the attack as a "dangerous warning," accusing Israel of deliberate aggression. As tensions escalate, will Hezbollah retaliate with a deadly revenge blitz? Watch the full report for the latest updates!
