Israel conducted strikes in southern Lebanon on Sunday, despite a framework agreement to end hostilities signed in Washington just two days earlier.

Separately, in a historic diplomatic move, Israel’s government unanimously approved a decision to formally recognize the violence against Armenians during World War I as a genocide — a long-debated step with significant geopolitical implications.
