Israeli strikes in south Lebanon kill two
Lebanon's health ministry said on Sunday that Israeli strikes on the country's south killed two people, as the Israeli army said it targeted Hizbollah members in the latest raids despite a ceasefire. The ministry said an "Israeli enemy" strike targeted a motorcycle in Arnoun, a village in the Nabatiyeh region about five kilometres (three miles) from the Israeli border, killing one person. It said another person was killed in an Israeli raid that "targeted a vehicle on the Debl road" in the Bint Jbeil district. Another strike on a car in nearby Beit Lif wounded one person, the ministry said. The Israeli military said in a statement that its forces "struck and eliminated a terrorist in Hizbollah's anti-tank array" in the Arnoun area. It later said its forces killed an operative from "Hizbollah's artillery array" in the Aita al-Shaab area, near the village of Debl. Israel has continued to strike Lebanon despite the November 27 ceasefire that sought to end more than a year of hostilities -- including two months of open war -- with the group Hizbollah, which emerged severely weakened. On Thursday, two people were killed in Israeli strikes on the south, and another died in a raid on Saturday. Under the truce, Hizbollah fighters were to withdraw north of the Litani River, about 30 kilometres from the border, and dismantle their military posts to the south. Israel was to pull all its troops from Lebanon but has maintained five positions it deems "strategic" along the frontier. The Lebanese army has been deploying in the south and dismantling Hizbollah infrastructure there. Agence France-Presse

8 injured after man attacks Colorado crowd with firebombs
At least eight people have been injured after a 45-year-old man threw incendiary devices at demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, during a rally held to remember Israeli hostages held in Gaza, authorities said. Eight victims aged between 52 and 88 years were transported to hospitals, the FBI special agent in charge of the Denver Field Office, Mark Michalek, said. At least one of them was in a critical condition, authorities said. Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said it appeared to be "a hate crime given the group that was targetted". Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said he did not believe anyone else was involved. "We're fairly confident we have the lone suspect in custody," he said. The attack took place on the Pearl Street Mall, a popular pedestrian shopping district in the shadow of the University of Colorado, during an event organised by Run for Their Lives, an organisation devoted to drawing attention to the hostages seized in the aftermath of Hamas' 2023 attack on Israel. Brooke Coffman, a 19-year-old at the University of Colorado who witnessed the Boulder incident, said she saw four women lying or sitting on the ground with burns on their legs. One of them appeared to have been badly burned on most of her body and had been wrapped in a flag by someone, she said. The attack follows last month's arrest of a Chicago-born man in the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy employees in Washington, D.C.
