Israel is at a “high level of readiness” for a response from Iran, an Israeli military source told CNN. It comes after a high-ranking source told CNN that Iran could respond to Israel’s recent attacks before the US presidential election.
• US officials returned from the Middle East after talks to deter any Iranian retaliation and for a renewed push to resolve the conflicts in Lebanon and Gaza. But officials remain doubtful the efforts will result in a pause in fighting in the Palestinian enclave before the US election, according to people familiar.
• Despite greater optimism for a potential Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire, war is still raging in Lebanon. The Israeli military struck Beirut’s southern suburbs for the first time in nearly a week, Lebanese state media said, after Hezbollah rocket fire killed seven civilians in Israel, including four Thai workers.
• In Gaza, health officials said at least 13 people were killed and dozens injured after an Israeli airstrike hit two houses north of Nuseirat refugee camp. The Israeli military has yet to comment.
