In Lebanon, Hezbollah announced Sheikh Naim Kassem as its new leader, following the death of Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike last month. Kassem, who has been acting leader, pledged to continue the group's policies.
Israel's parliament passed laws restricting the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, raising concerns about humanitarian aid in Gaza. Aid groups warn that this could lead to a collapse of the humanitarian system in the region.
