Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon leaves casualties
An Israeli drone attacked a vehicle in the southern Lebanese town of al-Mansouri on Thursday, causing casualties.
Lebanon's Health Ministry reported that the strike killed one person and wounded two others.
The attack came as Israeli drones were reported flying over several villages in the Tyre district, in what Lebanese officials described as ongoing airspace violations.
There was no immediate response from the Israeli military.
Meanwhile, the army announced that it had struck a Hezbollah command post overnight in the southern Lebanese town of Yohmor, alleging it was used to support the group's militant operations.

Iraq, Iran sign border security agreement
Baghdad ( – Iraq and Iran signed on Monday a new security agreement aiming to strengthen cooperation across the borders between the two countries. The agreement was signed during the official visit of the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Ali Larijani, to Baghdad, which sought to deepen bilateral security cooperation amid escalating regional instability. The Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, later met with Larijani and attended a ceremony held to sign the agreement, which officials say aims to improve border security operations. Al-Sudani highlighted Iraq's commitment to strengthening ties with Iran, underscoring mutually beneficial partnerships in different fields and reaffirming Baghdad's opposition to what it described as Israeli aggression against Iran, according to a statement released by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). The statement also reaffirmed Baghdad's support for dialogue between Washington and Tehran. The new agreement reinforces a previous deal reached in March 2023 between the two countries to tighten control over the border area between Iran and the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

US rejects Iraq-Iran security pact
Shafaq News – Washington The US State Department rejected on Tuesday a recent security memorandum of understanding signed between Iraq and Iran, expressing opposition to any legislation that conflicts with US goals and efforts to strengthen Iraq's security institutions. Earlier this week, a security agreement was signed in a ceremony overseen by Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, involving Iraq's National Security Advisor Qasim Al-Araji and Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani. At a press briefing attended by Shafaq News in Washington, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce commented on the memorandum, emphasizing, 'We support genuine Iraqi sovereignty, not legislation that would turn Iraq into a client state of Iran.' Highlighting that the United States has been clear about the principle that the future of nations should be determined by their own people, she noted the agreement 'runs counter to what we seek.' These statements come at a time of heightened political maneuvering in Baghdad, as US officials are pressing the Iraqi government not to approve the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Authority law, which would formalize and expand the powers of the paramilitary coalition that includes several Iran-aligned factions.
