US in Baghdad: Kills Militant Commander in Drone Strike
A U.S. drone attack killed a commander of the Iran-backed Kata’ib Hezbollah militia last night in Iraq's capital Baghdad. U.S. Central Command described Abo Baqir Al-Saadi as being directly responsible for planning and participating in attacks on American forces in the region. It is the second retaliatory strike the U.S. has carried out for the deadly attack on a base in Jordan. NBC
Hamas officials are set to travel to Cairo today for further cease-fire talks. Their trip comes after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected proposals from the militant group to end the fighting, insisting that Israel would fight on until it secured "absolute victory." Secretary of State Antony Blinken said a deal was still possible and will continue discussions with Israeli leaders today. |
