Israel attacks Beirut, targets Hezbollah chief of staff

The adoption of the U.S.-led resolution on Gaza by the Union Nations Security Council is an "an important step in the consolidation of the ceasefire" between Israel and Hamas, the UN Secretary General spokesperson in a statement Monday.

"It is essential now to translate the diplomatic momentum into concrete and urgently needed steps on the ground," the spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, said in the statement.

“The United Nations is committed to implementing the roles entrusted to it in the resolution, scaling up humanitarian assistance to meet the needs of civilians in Gaza and supporting all efforts to move the parties toward the next phase of the ceasefire,” he added.

This resolution is one step towards reaching the second phase of the U.S.' 20-point Gaza peace plan. The first phase of the plan went into effect on Oct. 10.

The United Nations Security Council voted to approve a U.S.-drafted Gaza resolution on Monday, propping up President Donald Trump's 20-point Gaza peace plan that would authorize an international force to stabilize the Gulf region, run by a "Board of Peace" headed up by Trump.

The resolution provides international legal authority for the multinational security mission.

"An adoption of the resolution today demonstrates the overwhelming support for the President's vision for a stable Gaza where Palestinians determine their own destiny, free from terrorist rule and violence, and under President Trump's bold leadership, the United States will continue to deliver results," U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz said immediately after the resolution was adopted.

"We will seize the opportunity today to end decades of bloodshed and make lasting peace a reality, and we will work tirelessly with our partners, as we have over the last several months, to advance this vision for a more stable and prosperous Middle East," he said.

No country voted against the resolution, though Russia and China abstained.

Multiple Israeli officials on Monday condemned settler violence in the occupied West Bank following several attacks reported in the last few weeks.

The latest incident was in the Jab'a area where dozens of Israelis allegedly set fires and vandalized homes and cars, the Israel Defense Fores said.

The IDF said it “views such actions with severity and condemns any form of violence, which harms the security in the area and risks destabilization.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he’s strengthening security forces.

“I view with great seriousness the violent riots and the attempt to take the law into their own hands by a handful of extremists who do not represent the settlers in Judea and Samaria,” he said. “I call on law enforcement authorities to bring the rioters to justice.”

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement, “We will not accept the attempts of a handful of violent and criminal anarchists to take the law into their own hands and tarnish the settler public, and we will not allow them to harm IDF soldiers, undermine order, or divert forces from the missions of protecting Israeli citizens and thwarting Palestinian terrorism.”

The Israel Defense Forces on Monday claimed the killing of what it said was a Hezbollah local representative in southern Lebanon.

The IDF posted a video to X showing what it said was the killing of Muhammad Ali Shuaikh. The IDF claimed Shuaikh was "a local representative of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the village of Al-Mansouri."

The IDF alleged that Shuaikh "was responsible for the connection between the organization and the residents of the village on military and economic issues."

Israel is continuing regular airstrikes in southern Lebanon targeting what it says are Hezbollah members and infrastructure.

The continued strikes come despite a ceasefire deal signed one year ago, under the terms of which both Hezbollah and Israel agreed to withdraw from southern Lebanon. Israeli forces are still deployed to five positions in the south of the country.

The IDF said on Sunday that its forces are continuing operations in Lebanon to "locate and dismantle terrorist infrastructure."

The IDF also claimed to have struck five "terrorist targets" and killed three Hezbollah operatives in southern Lebanon over the past week.
