Lebanon’s health ministry says an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon has killed one person.

State-run Lebanon News Agency quotes a health ministry statement as saying that the Monday night drone strike took place in the village of Qaaqaaiyet el-Jisr. It is not immediately clear who the target was.

A Cornell University student who sued the Trump administration because he feared it would try to deport him for participating in pro-Palestinian protests has been asked to surrender to immigration authorities.

Momodou Taal, a PhD student in Africana studies, got a notice Friday telling him to report to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, according to his attorneys. The agency did not set a deadline.

Taal, 31, filed a lawsuit March 15 seeking to block enforcement of executive orders by US President Donald Trump that have led to a growing crackdown on international students who participated in campus protests against Israel. Taal is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Gambia.

In a court filing, US Department of Justice lawyers said Taal’s student visa had also been revoked, even before he filed his lawsuit, but ICE agents had trouble locating him.

The revocation is based on Taal’s alleged involvement in “disruptive protests,” disregarding university policies and creating a hostile environment for Jewish students, the government said.

Taal was suspended from Cornell for a second time last fall after a group of pro-Palestinian activists disrupted a campus career fair. He has limited access to the upstate New York campus as he continues his studies remotely.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir hits back at Defense Minister Israel Katz for instructing him via a statement to the media to examine the conduct of the Military Advocate General, after a senior reserves officer — involved in an IDF October 7 probe — was summoned for a Military Police investigation.

“The chief of staff does not receive instructions through media announcements,” Zamir says in a statement released by the IDF.

“The claim that the officer was being investigated because of his part in the October 7 investigations is false and unfounded,” he says.

“The officer was summoned for questioning on suspicion of serious operational security violations. The investigation will continue to be conducted professionally,” Zamir says.

“I support the IDF’s law enforcement bodies, which are acting in accordance with the law to investigate suspicions, as required,” he adds.

The Iranian ambassador to the United Nations, in a letter to the UN Security Council, slams “baseless accusations” and threats by senior US administration officials and President Donald Trump against Iran while trying to justify what he said were unlawful attacks against Yemen.
