Iran’s foreign minister has already arrived in the country, state media reported. He was believed to be carrying a written response to a U.S. proposal to end the war.

Israel Katz, the defense minister, said he ordered troops to destroy more bridges and buildings in southern Lebanon, stoking worries that Israel was widening a military-controlled buffer zone there.

An Iranian missile wounded dozens in Dimona, a city believed to house Israel’s nuclear weapons program, as Iran showed no signs of backing down.

The Israeli government evacuated Kiryat Shmona during the last round of fighting with Hezbollah in 2023. Residents who were told it was safe to return are again under fire.
