Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon and regional developments: From Iranian threats to Hamas leader’s Cairo visit

Lebanese media reported Israeli airstrikes targeting the Ali Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon. The strikes occurred hours after local authorities in the Upper Galilee warned residents to expect explosions due to IDF activity in Lebanon. The area had previously seen three Lebanese soldiers wounded by a Hezbollah explosive drone. In other developments, Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security Commission, responded to US President Donald Trump’s remarks regarding the Strait of Hormuz by accusing him of "bluffing" and threatening that he might end up "hiding in a food truck," referencing recent security reports. Meanwhile, Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya is traveling to Cairo for his first visit since taking office in late July to meet with Egyptian intelligence chief Hassan Rashad. The visit comes ahead of a regional tour by Donald Trump’s envoy, Jared Kushner, to discuss a Gaza plan. Separately, footage has emerged showing settler children harassing Palestinian residents in the West Bank village of Turmus Ayya, highlighting ongoing tensions in the region.
