"Israeli soldiers entered the Subeih hill in northeast Hula (south Lebanon), planted explosives in two homes, and detonated them. The hill is near a Lebanese army checkpoint, where several soldiers stand with one or two vehicles.
It is the only checkpoint. The army personnel are not to be blamed under any circumstances. Believe me, those who know the area know what I mean.The army personnel are not weak, and their blood is not cheap to us, but precious. The blame lies with those who gave the army orders to confront without reinforcing it and strengthening its presence in many sensitive areas near the border."

❗️Report finds Israel deliberately targeted journalists and media tents in Gaza
A new report by the Freedoms Committee of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate accuses Israel of deliberately targeting journalists and media infrastructure in Gaza, including tents near hospitals and UN-run shelters. The report says areas of displacement were hit by sniper fire and precision weapons, killing journalists who had taken refuge after being forcibly displaced.
The committee described the attacks, which destroyed media offices and killed reporters in their homes and shelters, as systematic efforts to silence witnesses and obstruct documentation of events. It stressed that such targeting constitutes a war crime under Article 79 of the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions.
The syndicate called for an independent international commission and ICC involvement to investigate these crimes, urging cooperation with UNESCO and the International Federation of Journalists to provide urgent protection. It cited the August airstrike that killed six journalists, including Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif, outside Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital as a clear example of deliberate targeting.

❗️UAE unlikely to join Gaza 'stabilization force'
——
The United Arab Emirates has ruled out joining the proposed international stabilization force for Gaza, citing the absence of a clear framework, according to presidential adviser Anwar Gargash.
"The UAE does not yet see a clear framework for the stability force, and under such circumstances will probably not participate in such a force," Gargash told a forum in Abu Dhabi.
The force, part of US President Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan to be formalized through the UN, is meant to assume control of Gaza and potentially confront Hamas. However, Arab diplomats say privately that no state is willing to deploy troops if it risks direct conflict with Hamas.

⭕️ Trump to host Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa in first White House visit
Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa will meet US President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, capping a year-long shift that saw the former insurgent seize power in Damascus and move swiftly to restore ties with Washington and its allies.
The visit — the first ever by a Syrian head of state — comes days after the US lifted Sharaa’s terrorist designation and backed UN action to remove sanctions on him and his interior minister.
Washington is also brokering talks for a Syria–Israel security pact and preparing to deploy forces at a Damascus airbase, according to Reuters.

⭕️ Saudi Arabia sets strict terms for Israel ties ahead of Trump meeting
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) will visit Washington on 18 November to finalize a scaled-down defense pact but insists normalization with Israel remains off the table without a roadmap to Palestinian statehood.
Saudi officials told Reuters that Riyadh’s position has not changed despite Trump’s push to expand the Abraham Accords.
The crown prince seeks “explicit and vocal” US backing for Palestinian sovereignty and wants guarantees that Israel withdraw from Gaza and restore the Palestinian Authority’s role there.
The upcoming visit — MbS’s first since the Khashoggi murder — will focus on military cooperation and arms sales rather than recognition of Israel. The new agreement mirrors a non-binding US-Qatar arrangement, granting defense cooperation and fast-tracking weapons sales but stopping short of a full treaty.
Analysts say Riyadh is separating its security agenda from normalization efforts as Iran’s regional influence weakens and Washington pressures the kingdom to curb ties with China.

⭕️ US push to scrap Syria’s Caesar sanctions hits Republican roadblock
The White House is leaning hard on Congress to fully repeal the Caesar Act as part of its rapid normalization with Syria’s interim leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, but House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Brian Mast (R-Fla.) is refusing to sign off, saying his objections to a “clean repeal” should be obvious.
The administration argues lifting the sanctions is “key” to letting US companies and regional states operate in Syria, after it already removed other restrictions ahead of Sharaa’s meeting with President Donald Trump.
Senate foreign policy leaders from both parties have signaled support for scrapping Caesar to unlock reconstruction and investment, but critics in Congress warn that wiping out all penalties at once would leave Washington with no easy way to reimpose pressure if Damascus backslides. The repeal is now being tied to negotiations over the annual defense bill, which may not get a vote until December because of the ongoing government shutdown.

⭕️ Hamas reaffirms commitment to Gaza ceasefire, condemns Israeli violations
Hamas has renewed its commitment to the Gaza ceasefire, denouncing Israel’s repeated ceasefire violations that have killed over 240 Palestinians in the month since the truce began.
Senior Hamas official Ismail Radwan told Al Jazeera that Israel’s ongoing incursions, bombings, and arrests threaten to collapse the agreement, which was meant to halt civilian deaths. He said the continued blockade has left Gaza’s population facing famine, with only 150 to 200 aid trucks allowed in daily — far below the 600 agreed upon — and hospitals running out of medicine.
Radwan stressed that Hamas remains “keen on making the ceasefire agreement successful” and has informed mediators it is ready to finalize the exchange of prisoners’ bodies and withdraw its fighters from the so-called yellow zone to preserve the truce.
He urged international mediators to pressure Israel to reopen the Rafah crossing and ensure full implementation of the ceasefire, warning that Tel Aviv’s actions are undermining the only framework preventing a return to war.

⭕️ Israel pressuring Lebanese Army to raid civilian homes in hunt for Hezbollah weapons
Israel is reportedly demanding that the Lebanese army conduct house-to-house searches of civilian homes in southern Lebanon to uncover alleged Hezbollah weapons, a move Beirut’s military leadership has rejected.
Lebanese security officials told Reuters that the demand was raised in recent US-led truce monitoring meetings, followed by intensified Israeli air and ground strikes viewed as coercive pressure.
Officials say the Lebanese army has already dismantled tunnels and seized arms through coordinated operations, yet Israel insists on deeper intrusion into private property. Beirut fears the tactic is meant to provoke chaos and keep the country under threat of constant escalation, while Washington urges Lebanon to open political channels with Tel Aviv, a move Hezbollah continues to oppose.

❗️Israeli army begins 3-day drill in occupied West Bank and Jordan Valley
Israel has launched a three-day military exercise across the occupied West Bank and Jordan Valley, involving drones, aircraft, and heavy weapons, according to a military statement.
The army said residents would notice increased troop and aircraft movement as the drill simulates scenarios “similar to those of 7 October.”
The operation comes amid ongoing Israeli control declared illegal by the International Court of Justice in July, which called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

❗️Netherlands to ban imports from Israeli settlements
The Netherlands is moving ahead with a plan to ban imports from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, citing violations of international law and threats to the two-state solution. The proposed legislation, which will require coordination with the European Union, targets goods produced in Israeli settlements but stops short of broader sanctions on Israel itself. Dutch officials said the move aims to ensure that the country’s trade does not contribute to sustaining illegal occupation practices.
The initiative comes as European governments face growing pressure to respond to Israel’s ongoing settlement expansion and the worsening situation in Gaza and the West Bank. While settlement exports to the EU represent only a small fraction of Israel’s overall trade, the Dutch government views the measure as an important political signal supporting international law and Palestinian rights.
The law is still in its early stages, with legal and procedural hurdles expected as trade policy largely falls under EU jurisdiction. The Netherlands has also launched a review of Israel’s trade privileges under its EU association agreement, arguing that Israel’s conduct may breach human rights obligations. If approved, the ban would mark one of the strongest European responses yet to Israeli settlement activity.

❗️Appeals court rules that Trump administration cannot block $4 billion in SNAP benefits
A federal appeals court on Sunday allowed a Rhode Island judge’s order to stand, which requires the Trump administration to provide full funding for this month’s food assistance programs serving 42 million low-income Americans amid the ongoing government shutdown. The 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston declined to block the ruling, which requires the USDA to use $4 billion set aside for other purposes to ensure full Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, also known as SNAP.
The ruling will not take immediate effect because Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued a temporary hold on the lower court order. Her hold remains in place for 48 hours following the appeals court decision. Meanwhile, the USDA told states to reverse any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits before Jackson’s order or face financial penalties, leaving the status of the program uncertain.
The Trump administration argued the courts cannot appropriate federal funds and that Congress must resolve the crisis by ending the shutdown. On Sunday, the US Senate advanced a measure intended to reopen the federal government, which entered its 41st day of shutdown on Monday.
