Near-daily Israeli attacks have become the new normal in Lebanon, nearly a year after a U.S.-brokered truce halted the lastest conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

Chief US diplomat Marco Rubio was due in Israel on Thursday, the latest Washington official to visit as President Donald Trump's administration kept up efforts to cement the fragile truce between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The future is not clear for the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and its phases after weekend flareups in the region.

President Trump threatened to "eradicate" Hamas if it continues to violate a ceasefire the US helped broker between the militant group and Israel.

As the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas enters its second week, prominent Jews from around the world who have criticized Israel throughout the war have now signed onto a letter urging global leaders to ensure that the deal results in a “new era of peace and justice for all.”

The vice president said that while he can't have "100% certainty that it's going to work," he has "great optimism the ceasefire is going to hold."

U.S. military creates Civil-Military Coordination Center near Gaza to oversee ceasefire implementation and facilitate humanitarian assistance from international partners.
