In a note to staffers, CNN chairman and CEO Mark Thompson said: 'David arrived at CNN in tumultuous times and did a brilliant job stabilizing the company at a difficult moment.'

Also leaving the network is Haley Talbot, who will be joining Punchbowl News as the director of editorial video strategy. While at CNN, Talbot was a reporter and producer covering Capitol Hill. CNN is also losing Brian Rokus, who is joining C-SPAN as a producer for Book TV, where he will produce special programming and series for the network's dedicated audience of non-fiction book lovers. Rokus spent 25 years at CNN, most recently overseeing the evening newsgathering operation for its Washington, D.C. bureau.

Cohen previously served as a national security writer and reporter for CNN Politics. Justice O'Donnell: NBC News is promoting Kelly O'Donnell to chief justice and national affairs correspondent.

Israel's military strategy: Maintaining oversight in Lebanon despite troop movements
Report by Amal Shehadeh, English adaptation by Karine Keuchkerian "Lebanon, be cautious. While our army has withdrawn from your towns, we continue to maintain a presence in five positions. This does not mean our oversight of the situation in your area has ceased. Alongside our ground capabilities and rapid mobility, we have completed our preparations to monitor your sea and air." This is the message the army sent to Lebanon from the depths of the waters at Ras al-Naqoura, just 24 hours after its withdrawal from southern towns, announcing the deployment of the "Reshef" warship to monitor Lebanese waters fully. "Reshef" is the newest and most advanced vessel in the naval fleet, carrying 80 officers and soldiers along with dozens of missiles capable of hitting targets at sea and on land. What Tel Aviv wanted to convey through "Reshef" is a renewal of its naval military capabilities, which have played a pivotal role in "eliminating" Hezbollah's capabilities, just as its air force has. The Israeli military has also introduced the "MK II" system for its covert drones. What is this drone, and how does it differ from those used during the war against Hezbollah? The "MK II," like other drones, is capable of carrying out bombings and assassinations, but its most significant feature is its advanced technology, which will allow the ground forces stationed in the five occupied sites in Lebanon to track information and movements related to attempts to bolster Hezbollah's capabilities. Despite what has been said about American and French pressures and Lebanese attempts to end its complete occupation of southern Lebanon, Israel will only do what suits its security. This was announced by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the first days of the "Al-Aqsa Flood" war when he stated that Israel would maintain its command "on all fronts."
