In an internal investigation, the Pentagon on Thursday admitted that American forces had misidentified an intended al Qaeda target during a drone strike in Syria in 2023, killing a civilian in the process. Citing classified material, the U.S. Central Command stated in a statement that it was unable to disclose many investigational details to the public. Although the strike complied with U.S. policy and the law of armed conflict, the investigation "uncovered several areas that could be strengthened."

France's foreign minister announced plans to engage in discussions with Lebanese officials on Sunday to address tensions between Hezbollah and Israel and prevent potential conflict. Earlier this year, Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne proposed a plan that involves Hezbollah pulling back 10 km from the Israeli border while Israel halts strikes in southern Lebanon. This proposal, discussed with partners including the U.S., aims to maintain momentum amid Israeli threats of military action in southern Lebanon. Tensions have escalated, particularly following Iran's missile strikes on Israel in response to events in Syria, leading to increased exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah.
