The situation on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon remains tense.

Two women were killed and 20 people were injured in the village of Janata in southern Lebanon after an airstrike on a house late Thursday night, the Lebanese Civil Defense said in a statement.

Since Friday morning, at least 50 projectiles were launched from Lebanon toward Israel, the Israeli Defense Forces said.

"A number of the projectiles were intercepted," the IDF said.

"As a result of the launches, a fire broke out in the area of Kfar Szold," the IDF added.

Hezbollah issued statements taking responsibility for nine attacks on Israeli sites Friday.

Israeli forces returned to Jenin, in the West Bank, on Thursday to conduct what they called a "13-hour counter-terror operation" that left three killed, two detained and multiple injured, according to the local Palestinian Red Crescent Society.

The youngest person killed was 19 and the oldest 70, according to the PRCS report.

Bulldozers were filmed in central Jenin, where UNRWA said there was heavy damage, as well as in the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin, where the Israeli forces say they conducted a "pressure cooker" procedure on a house where they say two senior terrorists were staying.

Two suspects were killed, according to the IDF statement. The PRCS reports three killed and multiple people injured by shrapnel and beating.

The IDF reported two died in the operation.

State Department spokesperson Matt Miller on Thursday shed little light on the next steps for negotiations toward a cease-fire deal, but dismissed the idea that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s and other Israeli officials’ lack of public enthusiasm for the proposal soured the chances that Hamas would accept it.

"I personally doubt that comments, or lack of comments, from the Israeli government had anything to do with the Hamas response," he said. "We were disappointed both that it took so long to get a response and that the response had a number of changes that could drag the negotiations out further."

Miller was also reticent to discuss remaining sticking points, but on multiple occasions, he dismissed the idea that Hamas should need assurances for a lasting peace, emphasizing that if the proposal were enacted, the cease-fire prescribed under phase one of the deal would last as long as negotiations did.

"At least we would have had a cease-fire. We would have had a halt to the suffering," Miller said. "Hamas didn't do that. Instead, they dragged it out for 12 days, and now there will be continued haggling and delay."

President Joe Biden said the G7 leaders discussed the Gaza cease-fire and hostage proposal on Thursday.

When asked if he was confident a deal would be reached soon, Biden said, "No." He added, "I haven't lost hope -- but it's going to be tough.”

"Hamas has to move," Biden said.

The Israeli political security cabinet "discussed steps to strengthen settlements in the West Bank, among other things, in response to countries that unilaterally recognized a Palestinian state after October 7," in a meeting on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said in a statement.

Spain, Ireland and Norway recognized Palestine as a state at the end of May. Separately, 143 of the 193 members in the UN General Assembly voted in favor of a resolution stating that Palestinians qualify for full-member status at the United Nations at the beginning of May, according to the New York Times.

The cabinet also discussed "a series of reactions against the Palestinian Authority following its actions against Israel in international bodies," the statement added.

The Israeli minister of defense and the deputy prime minister "requested an additional period of time to make their comments," the statement says, and then the prime minister will "bring all the proposals to a vote at the next cabinet meeting."
