Top Biden administration officials are heading back to the Middle East to push a ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas. The proposal announced by President Biden last week comes in three phases, including a withdrawal of Israeli forces from all populated areas of Gaza. U.S. officials say they're now waiting on Hamas to respond. Tensions are ramping up along the Israel-Lebanon border, threatening to expand the war into a regional conflict. Israeli officials say at least 10 people were injured today because of an attack from the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
In the latest attack, Hezbollah appears to have struck the Israeli town of Horfesh in northern Israel. At least 10 people were injured, according to the Israeli military. The attack was carried out by an explosive drone. This incident is part of a simmering conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that has seen an uptick in attacks over the past week, including rocket and drone strikes in both directions.
