Diplomatic sources reveal the Trump administration has set a deadline for Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah, warning that failure to act will make a new military conflict unavoidable.

US media reported that the man suspected of last night’s shooting in Washington, DC served in the Afghan army alongside American forces. The Afghan national remained in the US even after his visa expired. The high school attended by one of the wounded soldiers wrote, "Please keep Andrew, his family and all those affected by the incident in your prayers."

Israel now has an urgent need to choke off and eliminate every Islamist branch that has taken root and multiplied inside the country under the cover of Israeli helplessness or blindness.

Anyone expecting Hezbollah to raise a white flag and surrender does not understand the terrorist organization. The desire to respond to the killing of its chief of staff certainly exists, but its need for quiet is stronger, and that need is shaping its policy.

After the blaze killed at least 44 people, the police arrested two construction directors and a consultant for manslaughter.
