Trump says US and Iran have reached a deal, opening the Strait of Hormuz

The Israeli military announced on Sunday that it had killed a senior Hezbollah commander in a "precise strike in southern Lebanon."

Israeli military officials said the Hezbollah commander, identified as Ali Musa Daqduq, was killed south of the Litani River on Friday.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Daqduq held a series of senior positions within the Hezbollah terrorist organization and served "as a source of knowledge with extensive operational experience."

"His elimination constitutes another significant blow to Hezbollah’s senior chain of command by eliminating one of the most prominent operatives responsible for terrorist activity against Israeli civilians, IDF soldiers, and American service members," the IDF alleged in a statement.

In recent years, the IDF said Daqduq played a central role in advancing terrorist attacks and combat operations against Israel and IDF soldiers.

The Israel Defense Forces said in a post to X on Sunday that it conducted a new strike on the Lebanese capital Beirut, targeting what it called Hezbollah "infrastructure" in the southern Dahiyeh area of the city.

In a statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strike was "in response to Hezbollah's firing into Israeli territory. Israel will not tolerate firing into its territory."

Israeli and Hezbollah forces continued to exchange fire in Lebanon as American and Iranian officials hinted at a possible deal to end the broader conflict, of which Lebanon is a key theater.

The Israel Defense Forces reported several "hostile aircraft" incursions along the northern border with Israel overnight and into Sunday, with no damage or casualties reported.

In the early hours of Sunday, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia claimed to have launched a drone attack on Israeli forces operating in the southern Lebanese town of Houla.

The IDF issued new evacuation warnings for residents of 13 towns and villages in southern Lebanon on Sunday ahead of airstrikes targeting what it said was Hezbollah infrastructure.

British Prime Minister Kier Starmer welcomed progress made on an Iran peace deal in a call with President Donald Trump on Saturday and underlined "the importance of ensuring any deal delivers a durable and lasting peace," according to the prime minister's office.

Starmer expressed support for Trump’s efforts to bring the conflict to an end and reiterated that the UK stood "ready to support the implementation of any peace agreement and to work with international partners to ensure its success," Starmer's office said in a statement Saturday.
