Watch a live view of Beirut on Sunday (25 August) after Hezbollah retaliated with a rocket barrage following Israeli strikes.

Israel launched a series of nearly 40 airstrikes in southern Lebanon early on Sunday in what it described as a “preemptive attack” to prevent an imminent Hezbollah drone and rocket strike.

“The IDF is striking terror targets in Lebanon from which Hezbollah was planning to launch attacks on Israeli civilians,” Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari said, calling it a “self-defence act”. “We can see that Hezbollah is preparing to launch an extensive attack on Israel, while endangering the Lebanese civilians.”

The escalation came as mediated talks for a ceasefire in Gaza stalled and raised fears of a broader war in the region.

2024 Tour Championship leaderboard: Scottie Scheffler on top with Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele pressing

It has become a three-horse race at east lake golf club with 36 holes remaining at the fedex cup playoffs finale.

Round 2 of the 2024 Tour Championship on Friday brought some drama as Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa cut into Scottie Scheffler's lead in the FedEx Cup Playoffs finale putting pressure on the world's No. 1 golfer entering the weekend. Entering the second round with a seven-stroke lead, Scheffler saw his advantage cut nearly in half to four by day's end with Morikawa sitting right behind him and Schauffele standing five back as Moving Day approaches at East Lake Golf Club.

Morikawa, who was paired with Scheffler in Friday's final grouping, fired a field-best 8-under 63 to improve to 17 under. Schauffele, meanwhile, had the second-best outing of the day in the group as he finished with a 7-under 64 that was better than any score posted Thursday.

Scheffler was the man who posted that score with a Thursday-low 65, and while he was unable to match that score Friday, a 66 with only one bogey and six birdies ensured he still maintained a comfortable cushion between himself and the rest of the field.

With 36 holes to play, time is quickly running out for challengers to unseat Scheffler, but the weekend may bring with it some suspense. Sahith Theegala, Adam Scott and Wyndham Clark also stayed within striking distance; they sit seven strokes off the lead after big Friday rounds. That could set up an eventful finish from East Lake.

Let's take a look at the leaderboard's current form with the weekend on tap.

1. Scottie Scheffler (-20) : Scheffler's lead of seven strokes entering the day dwindled to just five with Morikawa and Schauffele surging. And yet, his second-round 66 Friday felt more impressive than his first-round 65 Thursday. He has previously failed to close out this event in the past despite holding significant leads, but Scheffler showed poise in pounding greens and escaping with just one bogey on the scorecard along with two birdies across his final three holes.

T2. Collin Morikawa (-17) 3. Xander Schauffele (-16) T4. Wyndham Clark, Sahith Theegala (-12)

Morikawa picked up Friday (four birdies on the front nine) where he left off Thursday (six birdies on the back nine). He went out in 31 and proved he would push Scheffler down the stretch. Schauffele, meanwhile, was relentless in his pursuit all day with a bogey-free 65. Theegala and Clark have a ways to go if they hope to make this tournament interesting, but after respective 5-under and 4-under rounds, they sit just seven off the lead and well within striking distance should Scheffler fall back this weekend.  

Biggest movers

Up : Tony Finau quietly set the tone early in the day with a 66 to move up 12 spots on the leaderboard from 20th to T8. At 9 under, it would take quite a collapse from several guys at the top for him to be a real threat this weekend, but he's lurking in the shadows and could perhaps do more than that should he post another number in the mid-60s on Saturday.

Down : Keegan Bradley fell 17 spots down the leaderboard after Friday 74 that featured three bogeys in his final six holes. Bradley is coming off a win at the BMW Championship last weekend that moved him into the top five of the FedEx Cup standings, but a rough outing Friday moved him to 15 shots off the lead and out of contention for the championship.

Round 2 in the books

Friday's Round 2 play at the 2024 Tour Championship is officially wrapped with Scottie Scheffler -- surprise, surprise! -- once again comfortably leading the field.

Scheffler's lead of seven strokes entering the day shrunk to just four, though, thanks to an 8-under 63 from Collin Morikawa that moved him to within four of the World No. 1. Xander Schauffele got within five and slowly chipped away at Scheffler's lead, too, thanks to a 7-under 64.

Entering the weekend, Morikawa and Schauffele may be the only ones who can chase down Scheffler, but they proved Friday that they're more than just theoretical threats. With both lurking in striking distance and still 36 holes left to play, there's plenty of time for action over the next few days at East Lake to send us off as the FedEx Cup playoffs wrap.

Play set to resume at 6:50 p.m. 

Round 2 of the 2024 Tour Championship, which was suspended at 5:15 p.m. ET due to inclement weather in the area, is scheduled to resume at 6:50 p.m. ET, per the PGA Tour. There are just four groups of two still out on the course at East Lake -- including leader Scottie Scheffler (-19), Xander Schauffele (-15), Collin Morikawa (-15) and Wyndham Clark (-12).

Play suspended in Round 2

Play was suspended at 5:15 p.m. ET in Round 2 at the 2024 Tour Championship due to inclement weather in the area. They blew the horns to get all the players and spectators off the course as a safety precaution, and there is no definitive time yet on potential resumption. 

The pause comes with Scottie Scheffler -- who is part of the last pairing on the course and through 15 holes -- sitting at 19 under and leading by four strokes over Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa. 

Top of the leaderboard looks like so with the round almost completed. 

1. Scottie Scheffler (-19) T2. Xander Schauffele (-15) T2. Collin Morikawa (-15) T4. Sahith Theegala (-12) T4. Wyndham Clark (-12) T4. Adam Scott (-12)

Challengers emerging to Scheffler

Collin Morikawa, Wyndham Clark and Xander Schauffele are all 5 under on the round today and emerging as the potential challengers positioned best to track down leader Scottie Scheffler. Morikawa and Schauffele are both 14 under, while Clark is 13 under, which comes as Scheffler drops a stroke at the 13th to fall back to 19 under. Could get interesting leading into the weekend. 

Scheffler makes the turn with pep in step

A shaky start to the day could've injected some doubt into Scottie Scheffler's ability to close the FedEx Cup -- which he's failed to do the last two years -- but he's made leading the Tour Championship by multiple strokes look like cake so far. Scheffler just made the turn with a bogey-free 3-under 32 to keep his lead at six strokes on Xander Schauffele and suddenly-surging Collin Morikawa. Schauffele and Morikawa are both at 4 under on the round but still not within striking distance with Scheffler keeping the field at arm's length for now. 

Xander Schauffele has fantastic front nine

Leader Scottie Scheffler's grip on the lead has at the very least been threatened a smidge by World No. 2 Xander Schauffele, who after an opening-round 70 on Thursday just posted a 4-under 31 on the front nine to pull within six of Scheffler's lead. Schauffele made birdies at 3, 4, 6 and 8 and is on pace for the best round of the day, and perhaps the week. He struggled on the back nine in Round 1 yesterday so a good test of his mettle on deck down the stretch as we prep for the weekend ahead. 

Scheffler steady as ever

If Xander Schauffele's fast start has struck a scare into leader Scottie Scheffler, he certainly isn't showing it. Scheffler just birdied No. 6 -- his second on the day after a birdie at No. 3 -- to move to 2 under on the day and again extend his lead back to six strokes. He then turned around and bombed a 363-yard drive on the par-4 7th -- nearly thirty yards deeper than his drive on the same hole in Round 1 -- to put him in position for another birdie before settling for par. Good start to the front nine of Round 2 for the World No. 1. 

Schauffele storming back

Xander Schauffele came ready to rock in Round 2 as he's taken back multiple shots from leader Scottie Scheffler to move to within five strokes. Schauffele is 3 under through six and sitting 12 under with birdies at 3, 4 and 6. That's already matched his total count of birdies from Round 1, where he battled to an opening-round 70. 

Scheffler's lead shrinks by one

Scottie Scheffler is already in the red today at 1 under through four holes but his lead has shrunk from seven strokes to six after a strong start early from Xander Schauffele. Schauffele is two under on the day thus far with birdies at Nos. 3 and 4, moving him to 11 under. Meanwhile, there's a trio of big names -- Collin Morikawa, Wyndham Clark and Sam Burns -- who are all at 10 under, T3 and seven off the lead. 

Rory with two almost-makes with the putter on the front nine. This one at No. 1 was a gem that I thought might drop for birdie. He also just missed a shortie on No. 3 that would've been birdie. He's even on the day and yet somehow already licking some wounds. Going to need those to fall to chase down Scottie Scheffler, who is at 16 under. 

Hovland burning edges early

Viktor Hovland is even on the day and has thus far failed to erase his 12-shot deficit on Scottie Scheffler, but it's not without trying. He's now burned two edges through his first six holes on birdie bids that just missed dropping. He's had a bogey and a birdie to remain at 4 under (even on the day) but he's a few inches away from being top-10 on the leaderboard with a spring in his step. 

Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas begin their days

Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas -- a combined six major championships and four FedEx Cup championships between them -- are off and running in Round 2 to start their day. McIlroy is 10 back of leader Scottie Scheffler and Thomas is 11 back sitting at 6 under and 5 under, respectively.

McIlroy, who is the only golfer to have won the FedEx Cup three times, last won in 2022 after winning in 2019 and in 2016. He has had a stellar season with two wins and a soul-crushing second-place finish at the U.S. Open. Thomas last won the FedEx Cup in 2017. He entered the week No. 30 out of 30 qualifiers for the event at East Lake and has not won on the PGA Tour since his win at the PGA Championship at Southern Hills in 2022.

East Lake showing its teeth early

Round 2 is off to a rough start for a chunk of the morning crew who were off early to kick off Friday. Only one golfer so far -- Christiaan Bezuidenhout -- is in the red at 1-under. Three are 1 over and one 2 over in the early going of the 10 already on the course. 

Round 2 schedule Friday

Good morning and welcome to our Round 2 coverage of the Tour Championship leading into the weekend. We have a fun Friday on tap at East Lake, where Scottie Scheffler has a sizable lead after firing a 66 (-5) on Thursday in Round 1 to extend his lead to seven strokes. 

The second round is officially underway with Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Billy Horschel off the first tee. Scheffler and Collin Morikawa are in the final group slated to go off at 2 p.m. ET.

Harris caps two-day Georgia bus tour with appeal to voters at Savannah rally

SAVANNAH, Ga. — Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday worked to shore up Democratic support in Georgia by visiting a part of the battleground state that politicians don’t frequent nearly as much as the more heavily populated Atlanta area.

“For the past two election cycles, voters in this very state, you who are here, have delivered. You sent two extraordinary senators to Washington, D.C.,” Harris said, referring to Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.

She said that Georgians mobilized to put a Democrat in the Oval Office four years ago and that she’s hoping for a repeat.

“You showed up, you knocked on doors, you registered folks to vote, and you made it happen,” Harris said. “You did that. And so now we are asking you to do it again.”

Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, completed a two-day bus tour of southeastern Georgia. During a stop at a Savannah café Thursday, Harris said she plans to roll out a tax credit proposal for new startups and small businesses next week.

“This is one of my singular priorities, is to invest and grow our small businesses,” she said.

Shortly before the rally, Walz joined Harris for a joint interview with CNN that’s scheduled to air at 9 p.m. ET Thursday. It’s her first sit-down interview since she launched her White House bid late last month.

The crowd began filing into Savannah’s Enmarket Arena more than three hours before Harris was set to speak, braving a downpour while waiting in long lines to pass through security. Inside the arena, energetic supporters held signs reading “Freedom” and “A New Way Forward,” dancing to songs from CJ the DJ, a local radio host, as blue and white lights beamed across the audience.

A Harris-Walz campaign official said 7,500 people were in attendance. The official said that's the venue's maximum capacity.

Protesters interrupted Harris twice, and the audience cheered as they were led out. One protester was pro-Palestinian; it was unclear what the other protester was saying.

“I am speaking now,” Harris said as the first protester was escorted out, adding that she and President Joe Biden are working “around the clock” to secure a hostage deal.

Walz wasn’t onstage for the Savannah rally. He’s in North Carolina for two campaign events.

Biden’s razor-thin 2020 victory in Georgia came down to fewer than 12,000 votes. One of the heaviest blue regions of the state is metro Atlanta, where Biden performed better than 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in almost every county.

But Democratic leaders in Savannah say the Harris campaign is helping expand party support in the state’s southeast.

“Atlanta has always gotten the juice, has always gotten the love, but us here in southeast Georgia, we really matter,” said Aaron “Adot” Whitely, chair of the Democratic Party in Chatham County, where Savannah is located.

Biden narrowly improved Democrats’ margins in two blue Southeastern counties in 2020, winning Chatham with 58.6% of the vote.

Savannah Mayor Van Johnson, who has long been vocal about the need for Democrats to more seriously engage with cities beyond Atlanta, said he feels the Harris campaign has answered his call by opening seven field offices in southern Georgia.

“The fallacy often is that Georgia is Atlanta and Atlanta is Georgia,” Johnson said. “Each city, each county, has its own distinct flavor and its own distinct history, and so it would be a fool’s errand to think that you can fly in and out of Atlanta and that you’ve covered Georgia.”

Jonae Wartel, senior adviser to the Harris campaign in Georgia, emphasized that Democrats learned the importance of having a statewide strategy from their successful 2021 Senate runoff races, when she was runoff director for Georgia Democrats.

Warnock and Ossoff won their races nearly four years ago, giving Democrats a majority in the Senate. Warnock kept his seat in 2022, beating his Republican opponent.

“I think it’s really important to not see Georgians as a single type of voter, but more a broad coalition,” Wartel said. “So taking her to parts of Georgia that are outside of metro Atlanta is incredibly important.”

The campaign’s volunteer efforts got a boost when Harris announced her campaign, with more than 35,000 people joining volunteer efforts in Georgia, Porsha White, the Harris campaign’s Georgia director, said in a news release.

Amy Morton, CEO of the Democratic consulting firm Southern Majority, said Harris’s rising to the top of the ticket also became a “game changer” for down-ballot races.

Often, Democrats in swing districts try to distance themselves from the presidential nominee, Morton said.

“That is flipped in this situation,” she said. “I already have Republican opponents in these districts who are sprinting away from Trump.”

Israeli Forces Rescue Hostage From Gaza

The Israeli military said it had found a 52-year-old Israeli Arab in a tunnel in southern Gaza. He is the eighth hostage to be rescued alive of the approximately 250 abducted 10 months ago.

Follow our latest updates on the Israel-Gaza war.

Aaron Boxerman

Here are the latest developments.

Israeli forces rescued an Arab citizen of Israel during an operation in southern Gaza, the Israeli military said on Tuesday, more than 10 months after he was abducted alongside about 250 others during the Hamas-led attacks on Oct. 7.

Israeli officials identified the man as Farhan al-Qadi, 52, a member of the country’s Bedouin Arab minority and the first Israeli Arab hostage to be rescued alive since October.

Israeli soldiers and special forces appear to have found Mr. al-Qadi by chance as they were combing through a tunnel network for Hamas fighters, according to two senior officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters.

Mr. al-Qadi was found alone, without guards, in a room roughly 25 yards underground, the officials said.

Israeli officials have said they believe hostages are being held in tunnels and that Hamas’s leader, Yahya Sinwar, have abductees around him.

The rescue of Mr. al-Qadi comes as pressure grows on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to make a deal to end the war in Gaza and free the more than 100 hostages remaining in Gaza, at least 30 of whom the Israeli authorities presume to be dead. Intensive diplomatic efforts by officials from the Biden administration, Egypt and Qatar have failed to bridge the gaps between Israel and Hamas, including disagreement over Mr. Netanyahu’s insistence that some Israeli troops remain in Gaza after the war ends.

It was not immediately clear whether the operation to free Mr. al-Qadi had resulted in any deaths. But there were no reports on Tuesday of intense bombardments in Gaza of the kind that had preceded other attempts to rescue hostages.

Here is what else to know:

Freed hostage: Mr. al-Qadi , who is from a village near the southern city of Rahat, was working as an unarmed guard at an agricultural plant in Magen, a small Israeli kibbutz near the border with Gaza, when he was abducted. He is a member of Israel’s impoverished Bedouin Arab minority. At least 17 Bedouins died in the Oct. 7 attacks. After his rescue, Mr. al-Qadi was taken to a hospital and was in “stable medical condition,” the military said.

Past rescues: The Israeli military has now rescued eight living hostages since the war began, and those operations have often killed scores of Palestinians. Israeli military officials say the remaining hostages are being held throughout the Gaza Strip, with many believed to be in Hamas’s underground tunnel network.

Regional fears: Hezbollah and Israel appeared to de-escalate after their major confrontation over the weekend, but for many people across the Middle East, any feelings of relief were undercut by a deeper sense of deadlock . Roughly 150,000 displaced Israelis and Lebanese are still waiting to return to their homes along the countries’ border as Israeli forces and Hezbollah continue to trade strikes. The violence there is intertwined with the 10-month war in Gaza. Months of talks have yet to yield a breakthrough.

U.N. aid resumes: The United Nations’ humanitarian aid operations in Gaza restarted on Tuesday after the Israeli military this weekend ordered the organization to evacuate its operations hub in the territory, forcing a pause. The military had said it was intensifying operations in the area to target Hamas and its remaining infrastructure.

Far-right minister: Israel’s national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, drew outrage for saying he would support building a synagogue at the Aqsa Mosque complex in Jerusalem, on a disputed site that is holy to Jews and Muslims. The comments, which came in response to a radio interviewer’s question, prompted denunciations from several Arab states and led Mr. Netanyahu’s office to issue a statement saying there was no change to the status quo at the site.

Aaron Boxerman and Adam Rasgon

At an Israeli hospital, the rescued hostage tells his family about his ordeal.

Farhan al-Qadi, the hostage rescued by Israeli troops in an underground tunnel in Gaza on Tuesday, told his friends and relatives that he had been held in the dark for a long time, often alone save for his guards.

“He spoke about the darkness, not being able to see,” said Fayez al-Sana, a cousin who spoke with Mr. al-Qadi as he was recovering at Soroka Medical Center, in southern Israel. “But, thank God, he’s back with us, alive — it made us all rejoice.”

Mr. al-Qadi had lost a lot of weight but had “a strong personality” that kept him afloat in captivity, Mr. al-Sana said. “He has a lot of resilience, and his faith in God was strong — those two things helped him carry it all,” he said.

Clusters of Bedouin Arab friends, relatives and well-wishers lingered in the corridors of Soroka in the southern city of Beersheba, occasionally entering and exiting the closed-off ward in which Mr. al-Qadi was recuperating.

Some were longtime family friends, like Mazen Abu Siam, a local veterinarian. Others, like Ashraf Abu Mudaygham, were complete strangers who had come hoping to congratulate Mr. al-Qadi on his return home.

“May all the hostages return soon, and this war come to an end,” said Mr. Abu Mudaygham.

Mr. al-Qadi spent over 10 months in Gaza after he was abducted during the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7 from the Israeli kibbutz where he worked.

“We’ve been praying for 10 months for the freedom of all the hostages, including Farhan,” said another relative, Fayez Abu Suheiban, who called on the Israeli government to take swift action to free the remaining living and dead hostages in Gaza.

“We ask the government to make a deal as soon as possible to release all the captives and end this crazy war, which has taken many victims from both sides,” Mr. Abu Suheiban said.

Dr. Abu Siam, the veterinarian, said Mr. al-Qadi told him that he had been mostly cut off from radio and television and had only a vague idea of what was going on in the outside world.

When he spoke about Hamas, which led the attacks in which Mr. al-Qadi was abducted, Dr. Abu Siam’s voice took on a harsh edge. “What they did can’t be called war,” he said.

Dr. Abu Siam ticked off a list of cases in which civilians were targeted on Oct. 7, including the killings of over 300 people at a rave in southern Israel, saying, “They attacked everyone, even people dancing under the trees.”

Cease-fire negotiations are set to continue in Doha, Qatar, in the coming days, and the United States is “still hopeful” about a deal, John Kirby, a White House spokesman, told Israeli news media Tuesday. He noted that, despite Hamas’s public statements saying it was not participating, the militant group was “still being represented” by mediators.

“All I can tell you is that all parties are still engaged, and that’s a good thing,” Kirby said. “Nobody has broken off entirely from the process.” He said that talks in Cairo in recent days “were constructive” but noted that “any negotiation is going to require compromise and leadership on both sides here, and that’s what we’re trying to drive at.”

The hostage rescue shines a spotlight on Israel’s Bedouins.

Farhan al-Qadi, the hostage rescued from southern Gaza on Tuesday, is a member of the Bedouin, an Arab community marginalized by Israel that suffered painful losses in the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack .

During the attack, at least 17 Bedouin were killed, including by Hamas rocket fire, and eight others were abducted. But little attention has been focused on their plight — a reflection of their peripheral status in Israel.

Tens of thousands of Bedouin live in unrecognized villages in the Negev desert, an upended triangle of arid land that borders Gaza and extends through southern Israel. The villages have long suffered from a lack of basic services, including running water and electricity. When Hamas fires rockets into southern Israel, Jewish communities largely can take cover in nearby bomb shelters, while dozens of these villages lack them.

Mr. al-Qadi’s address is in Rahat, a township established by Israel, but his home is actually in an unrecognized village, according to Fayez Abu Suheiban, a relative and the former mayor of Rahat. When he was abducted, Mr. al-Qadi was working as an unarmed guard at a kibbutz in southern Israel, Mr. Abu Suheiban said.

The Bedouin were historically a seminomadic group. But in the wake of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, most were forced out of the Negev desert or fled to other parts of the region.

Israeli authorities concentrated those who remained in a smaller area of the desert, and later built seven meager townships for them, which Israeli experts said was an effort to corral a society that highly values independence into the structures of a modern nation-state. Today, there are roughly 300,000 Bedouin in the Negev, many of them under 18, about one-third of whom live in the unrecognized villages.

The Bedouin of the Negev long relied on herding sheep, goats and camels and harvesting wheat, barley and lentils, but now many have become part of the Israeli labor market, and some serve in the Israeli military. Unemployment is rampant and poverty is widespread.

Israeli officials have argued that the Bedouin do not have valid claims to the land in the unrecognized villages, and Israel’s courts have backed up that view. But Bedouin leaders have said they cannot meet demands for proof of ownership because they traditionally did not keep physical records.

“We’re citizens and we pay taxes, but the state doesn’t give us our rights because it wants to destroy our villages and concentrate us in densely populated townships,” said Atiya al-Asam, the chairman of the Regional Council of Unrecognized Villages in the Negev, a civil society group. “The state treats us in a very bad way.”

Many inhabitants of unrecognized villages rely on solar panels and batteries to turn lights on at night, run their refrigerators and watch television, and they use makeshift pipes to bring water to their homes. Homes made of corrugated sheet metal are ubiquitous — and particularly vulnerable to Hamas rockets.

“The rockets don’t distinguish between Arabs and Jews,” but “government policy does,” said Taleb al-Sana, a former member of the Israeli Parliament from a Bedouin community in the Negev.

Mr. al-Qadi’s rescue leaves three living Bedouin hostages believed to be in Gaza and a fourth who was declared dead by Israeli authorities. Two teenage Bedouin were released during a short-lived cease-fire in November, and another was one of three hostages mistakenly killed by Israeli forces in December .

In daring acts, some Bedouin saved the lives of Jewish Israelis on Oct. 7.

When Ismail Qrinawi, 45, and three other residents of Rahat heard the incessant rocket fire raining down on Israel that morning, they decided to travel to Kibbutz Beeri to rescue his cousin, who was working in the community’s food hall.

On the way, the four encountered terrified people fleeing the grounds of a music festival that had been invaded by militants, Mr. Qrinawi recalled. Without hesitation, they risked their lives to ferry dozens of them to safety in a Toyota Land Cruiser.

“We saved their lives because they’re people,” Mr. Qrinawi said in an interview. “My responsibility as a person is to save anyone I can. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Jew or an Arab.”

Shir Nosatzki, the director of Have You Seen the Horizon Lately, an organization that promotes Jewish-Arab partnership, said several survivors confirmed Mr. Qrinawi’s account to her as well as senior police officials.

Later that day, the Rahat foursome turned their focus to locating Mr. Qrinawi’s cousin. Braving gunfire all around them, they rescued him, along with a Jewish woman , too.

Humanitarian operations in Gaza resume, haltingly, following a pause, the U.N. says.

United Nations humanitarian operations in the Gaza Strip were back up and running on Tuesday, albeit haltingly, U.N. officials said, after the Israeli military ordered the evacuation of Deir al Balah, the location of the world body’s main operations hub in the territory.

The agency’s humanitarian missions had ground to a halt after the weekend evacuation order gave the U.N. just a few hours’ notice to move more than 200 personnel, said Gilles Michaud, the organization’s under secretary general for safety and security. By Tuesday, U.N. officials had regrouped and were able to coordinate the movement of staff members and aid.

“The United Nations is determined to stay in Gaza to deliver life saving aid for and with Palestinian civilians,” Mr. Michaud said in a statement on Tuesday.

The Israeli military had said it was intensifying operations in the area of Deir al-Balah to target Hamas and its remaining infrastructure after intelligence reports indicating the group’s presence there.

Those military actions “seriously impact the pace at which we can deliver, safely,” Mr. Michaud noted, adding that delivering aid to the rest of the enclave was “a tremendous feat.”

In his statement, Mr. Michaud called on Israel and Hamas to respect international law and allow aid workers to operate safely. “The women and men who risk their lives to deliver humanitarian aid need a safe and consistent place from which to work,” he said.

The Israeli order to evacuate was particularly poorly timed, Mr. Michaud noted, given the mass polio vaccination campaign scheduled to begin in Gaza and “for which large numbers of staff will need to enter the strip.”

Stephane Dujarric, a U.N. spokesman, told reporters in a briefing on Tuesday that he expected the vaccination campaign to proceed as planned.

In June, a variant of the polio virus was found in wastewater in Gaza. And after the first case of the disease in 25 years was recently confirmed in the enclave, global health officials planned a mass vaccination campaign beginning on Saturday for about 640,000 children under the age of 10.

On Tuesday, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a post on social media that it had received four refrigerators to store vaccine doses.

Al-Qadi told President Isaac Herzog of Israel in a phone call that he “couldn’t believe it” when he heard Hebrew outside the door of the room in which he was being held. “People are suffering every second, every second,” al-Qadi told the president, referring to the hostages still being held in Gaza. Their suffering “cannot be described with words,” he said. “You must do everything to bring the people back home.”

Mazen Abu Siam, a longtime friend, said he couldn’t believe that al-Qadi was free. For 10 months, the ex-hostage's family had been in terrible anxiety over his fate, Abu Siam said. Al-Qadi told him that he had been mostly cut off from radio and television, with only the vaguest idea of what was going on in the outside world. “In my opinion, they are devils,” Abu Siam said, referring to the Palestinian militant captors.

A steady stream of friends and relatives made their way in and out of the hospital ward where al-Qadi was being treated. Ataa Abu Al-Mudaygham, the former mayor of Rahat, Israel, said al-Qadi had told him he had been held for months without seeing daylight, in more or less total darkness. “What he described was terrible captivity,” said Al-Mudaygham. “His eyes were still struggling to adjust from seeing the light.”

Fayez Al-Sana, a cousin who sat with Farhan al-Qadi after his release, said he was shocked by how much weight the former hostage had lost. “He came out different; he must have lost at least 20 kilograms,” said Al-Sana. He said that al-Qadi hadn’t spoken extensively about his time in the tunnels, but that a significant amount of it had been spent in the dark, with only his guards for company.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Farhan al-Qadi on Tuesday and pledged his commitment to the release of the remaining hostages, his office said in a statement. The statement said that al-Qadi told the prime minister that he was with two of his children during the phone call and that he thanked him.

Relatives of hostages in Gaza have been pressuring Netanyahu to reach a cease-fire deal with Hamas that would bring home their relatives and end the war. Some hostage families have accused him of deliberately delaying a deal and adding conditions to the negotiations as fighting in Gaza has dragged on more than 10 months.

Palestinian emergency services searched for survivors trapped under rubble in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, after strikes on Tuesday. The Palestinian Civil Defense said that strikes across Gaza on Tuesday had killed at least 20 Palestinians, more than half of them near Khan Younis.

Officials say Israeli commandos appear to have found the hostage by chance while capturing a tunnel.

Israeli military rescues eighth hostage alive from gaza, israeli soldiers and special forces found farhan al-qadi by chance as they were combing through a tunnel network in southern gaza..

During a complex rescue mission, Kaid Farhan al-Qadi from the Bedouin community of Rahat, has been rescued. He is alive. He is back home in Israel.

Farhan al-Qadi, the Arab Israeli hostage rescued from Gaza on Tuesday, appeared to have been found by chance during an Israeli operation to capture a Hamas tunnel network beneath southern Gaza, according to two senior Israeli officials.

A team led by Flotilla 13, Israel’s version of the Navy SEALs, was combing the tunnels for signs of Hamas fighters when, to the forces’ surprise, they found Mr. al-Qadi on his own, without guards, in a room roughly 25 yards underground, the officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief journalists.

The eighth living hostage freed in a rescue operation, Mr. al-Qadi is the first to be freed from a tunnel instead of a house and the first Arab. Unlike the other seven, Mr. al-Qadi was freed without a fight, the officials said. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss a sensitive matter.

Details of the rescue were still emerging on Tuesday evening, and there were conflicting accounts about how the rescue occurred. The officials’ anonymous accounts appeared to contradict the military’s first announcement about Mr. al-Qadi’s rescue, which a military spokesman described as a “complex rescue mission” based on “accurate intelligence.”

After The New York Times published an early version of this article, the military released a more ambiguous statement that did not refer to accurate intelligence. Instead it said Mr. al-Kadi had been rescued during an operation “in a complex underground system where hostages were suspected to be held, alongside with presence of terrorists and explosives.”

While Mr. al-Kadi may have been found by chance, the presence of hostages in tunnels is not unexpected. Hamas has held hostages in the tunnels throughout the war, and soldiers routinely search the tunnels for signs of their presence.

The Israeli military is still trying to understand why Mr. al-Qadi was discovered on his own, seemingly abandoned by his captors, the officials said.

According to a third person briefed on his rescue, the soldiers who found him initially feared that Mr. al-Qadi, a member of Israel’s Bedouin Arab minority, might be a Hamas operative, but they quickly established that he was an Israeli citizen captured on Oct. 7. The officials said that Mr. al-Qadi appeared weak and undernourished. He lacked the energy to climb out of the tunnel on his own.

Roughly 250 people were captured, some dead, during Hamas’s raid on Israel on Oct. 7. More than 100 were released in a deal in November, while scores more have died in captivity, including from Israeli fire. Roughly 100 still remain in Gaza.

A far-right Israeli minister draws new condemnation for comments on a disputed holy site.

Israel’s far-right national security minister has drawn outrage for agreeing that he would like to build a synagogue at a disputed holy site in Jerusalem that has long been a flashpoint between Jews and Muslims.

In an interview on Monday on Israeli Army Radio, Itamar Ben-Gvir, the national security minister, was asked if he would build a temple at a site sacred for both Jews and Muslims, known as the Aqsa Mosque complex by Muslims and the Temple Mount by Jews. “Yes, yes, yes!” Mr. Ben-Gvir replied.

The affirmation by Mr. Ben-Gvir, who has a long history of incendiary comments and actions, came amid heightened tensions in the region, with the war between Israel and Hamas expected to grind on with no end in sight . Four days of cease-fire talks in Cairo between senior Israeli and Hamas officials concluded on Sunday with no breakthrough.

Almost immediately after the interview, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said in a statement that there was no change to the status quo at the site, where two ancient Jewish temples once stood. Senior rabbis generally oppose Jews even walking on top of the Temple Mount, but some religious Jews want to build a third Jewish temple , a move seen as offensive to Muslims.

Jordan , Egypt , Saudi Arabia and Qatar quickly denounced the comments. In a joint statement , Jordan and Egypt added that a cease-fire was the only way to lessen the “grave escalation” in the region.

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it viewed Mr. Ben-Gvir’s statements as “an explicit and blatant call to demolish the mosque and construct the so-called Temple in its place.”

Moderate Israeli officials distanced themselves from Mr. Ben-Gvir’s comments. Several Israeli leaders called on Mr. Netanyahu to discipline or control Mr. Ben-Gvir.

“Challenging the status quo on the Temple Mount is a dangerous, unnecessary and irresponsible act,” Yoav Gallant, the defense secretary, wrote on X . “Ben Gvir’s actions endanger the national security of the State of Israel and its international status.”

A complex agreement governs the site. Officially, Jews may visit the site, but not pray there, though Israel has quietly allowed them to do so. Jewish worshipers are supposed to pray at the nearby Western Wall.

In one of a series of provocations, Mr. Ben-Gvir recently violated the agreement with a public demonstration, leading a group of about 2,000 supporters in prayers at the site. He claimed in the Monday interview that not allowing Jews to pray there was discrimination.

In June Mr. Ben-Gvir joined a procession of tens of thousands of Jews through the heart of Jerusalem to celebrate Israel’s capture of the eastern half of the city in 1967.

In the interview, Mr. Ben-Gvir was open about his goals — and his current limitations.

“It’s not as if I do whatever I like in the Temple Mount,” he said. “If this were the case, the Israeli flag would have hung over the Temple Mount a long time ago.’’

In a recorded statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed al-Qadi’s freedom and said Israel was employing a two-pronged approach to liberating hostages in Gaza: negotiations and rescue operations. That requires “our military presence on the ground and unending military pressure on Hamas,” he said. “We will continue to act in that way until we return everyone home.”

Many military experts have said that while Israel may be able to free some hostages through rescue operations, the only way to bring home all the living and dead hostages in Gaza is by reaching an agreement with Hamas.

Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the Israeli military’s chief spokesman, said Israeli forces had rescued Mr. al-Qadi from an underground tunnel in the southern Gaza Strip in a “complex and brave operation.” He said the soldiers reached him after “precise intelligence" was collected by Israel’s security services.

Who is Farhan al-Qadi, the rescued hostage?

Israelis on Tuesday celebrated the rescue of Farhan al-Qadi, who was taken hostage during Hamas’s attacks on Oct. 7. But none more so than his family, who raced through the hallways of the hospital complex where he was being treated to greet him as quickly as they could.

“I can’t explain these feelings,” Mr. al-Qadi’s brother said in a video shared by Israel’s official account on X, taken before he saw him again. “It’s better than being born again.”

The 52-year-old, a Muslim and member of Israel’s Bedouin community, is from a village near Rahat, in southern Israel. He was working as an unarmed guard in a small Israeli kibbutz, according to a member of his extended family, when he was abducted.

Israeli officials identified him variously as Qaid Farhan al-Qadi and Farhan al-Qadi; his family said his name is Farhan al-Qadi.

A member of Mr. al-Qadi’s extended family, Fayez Abu Suheiban, said in an interview that Mr. al-Qadi had over 10 children and that the entire family had been desperate to hear from him since his abduction. “We’ve been praying for him every day since,” Mr. Abu Suheiban said.

Family members had gathered at the Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, a city about 10 miles southeast of Rahat, where Mr. al-Qadi was brought by helicopter. Israel’s official account on X shared a video of Mr. al-Qadi’s family members running through the hospital. It also shared a picture of him and his brother in what appeared to be a selfie.

Mr. al-Qadi looks at the camera, wearing a blue and yellow hospital gown, smiling. “Reunited,” the caption reads, with a heart emoji and an Israeli flag.

Fayez Al-Sana, a cousin who sat with Mr. al-Qadi after his release, said he was shocked by how much weight the former hostage had lost. “He came out different, he must have lost at least 20 kilograms,” Mr. Al-Sana said. He added that Mr. al-Qadi had not spoken much about his time in the tunnels, but that a significant amount of it had been spent in the dark, with only his guards for company.

Mr. al-Qadi’s brother Khatem al-Qadi told Israeli television that the family planned a huge party to celebrate his return. He called for a cease-fire deal in Gaza to allow for the release of the rest of the hostages.

“They are still waiting to see their loved ones back today,” he said, speaking of other families. “We are wishing for all of the hostages to be released and for there to be a deal now.’’

For some, Mr. al-Qadi’s rescue was a reminder of the toll the attacks took on Israel’s Bedouin community. At least 17 Bedouins died . Many more who had worked on farms in southern Israel lost their livelihoods after the farms were ransacked.

Even before the attacks, the Bedouins were suffering from the tensions between Israel and Hamas. Few have access to bomb shelters and health clinics because they often live in villages that the Israeli government does not recognize. Even though Hamas does not directly target them, Bedouins are not always able to seek shelter when the group fires rockets into southern Israel.

At the hospital, Mr. al-Qadi’s brother Khatem watched his brother step off a helicopter, Haaretz reported .

“We didn’t believe he would get out of there,” he said, according to Haaretz. “We didn’t know if he was alive or dead.”

“Today we received a new human being,” he added. “He came back from the dead.”

Gabby Sobelman , Aaron Boxerman and Adam Rasgon contributed reporting.

The Israeli military’s chief spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, is speaking now. He will speak in Hebrew, then English. You can watch here .

Farhan al-Qadi is just the eighth living hostage — and the first Arab — to be rescued from Gaza. At least four Arab citizens of Israel still remain captive in the Palestinian enclave. Three were abducted during the Hamas-led attacks in October, while a fourth, Hisham al-Sayed, has been held there for nearly a decade.

The Hostages Families Forum, an umbrella organization representing the families of hostages held in Gaza, hailed Mr. al-Qadi’s rescue as “nothing short of miraculous,” but warned that military missions did not obviate the need for a cease-fire agreement to free the more than 100 remaining hostages. “A negotiated deal is the only way forward,” it said in a statement.

Farhan al-Qadi, the hostage Israel said it freed Tuesday, is a member of Israel’s Bedouin Arab minority, an impoverished community. At least 17 Bedouins died in Hamas’s surprise Oct. 7 attacks, and many more lost their livelihoods. Read more about the community in this article .

Here are the past Israeli operations to free hostages or retrieve their bodies.

The rescue of a hostage on Tuesday from southern Gaza brought to eight the number of captives the Israeli military has freed out of the approximately 250 abducted in the Hamas-led attacks last Oct. 7.

Several other hostages’ bodies have been recovered in military operations, and scores of women and children were released during a weeklong cease-fire with Hamas last November. More than 100 captives still remain in Gaza, at least 30 of whom are believed to be dead.

The operations to free hostages by force have often resulted in high death tolls in Gaza. Israeli military officials have said that only a cease-fire agreement with Hamas will allow for most of those still being held to return home.

Here is a look at some of Israel’s previous operations that freed hostages or retrieved their bodies:

Oct. 30, 2023: Less than a month after the Hamas-led attacks, the Israeli military said it had rescued an Israeli soldier who had been abducted from an army base. The soldier was identified as Pvt. Ori Megidish, 19.

Dec. 12: Two hostages were found dead and their bodies repatriated to Israel, the military said. The operation to locate them resulted in the deaths of two Israeli service members.

Dec. 15: Israeli troops shot and killed three hostages whom they mistook for Palestinian militants. The three — Yotam Haim, Samer Talalka and Alon Shamriz — had emerged shirtless from a nearby building, waving a white flag, according to the military. The shootings shocked the country and heightened fears that more captives could be unintentionally hit by Israeli fire.

Feb. 11, 2024: Israeli security forces said they had freed two hostages being held in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. The hostages were identified as Fernando Simon Marman, 60, and Louis Har, 70.

Officials in Gaza said that accompanying Israeli strikes had killed dozens of Palestinians in Rafah.

June 8: Four hostages were rescued alive from Nuseirat, in central Gaza, amid one of the most intense Israeli bombardments of the war. The hostages were identified as Noa Argamani, 26; Andrey Kozlov, 27; Almog Meir Jan, 22; and Shlomi Ziv, 41.

Palestinian health officials said 274 people were killed, including 64 children, during the rescue operation. Israel put the total number of dead at around 100. Neither toll distinguished between civilians and combatants.

The New York Times found that Israeli strikes that were part of the rescue operation had destroyed or damaged at least 42 buildings. The areas hit included apartment buildings and a crowded market, helping to explain the high death toll.

Aug. 20: Israel said it had retrieved the bodies of six hostages , five of whom were previously known to be dead.

Aug. 27: The Israeli military said it had rescued Farhan al-Qadi, 52, an Israeli Arab, during an operation in southern Gaza. He was found alone, without guards, in a room roughly 25 yards underground, the officials said.

Mr. al-Qadi, who is from a village near the southern city of Rahat, Israel, the military said, had worked as an unarmed security guard in Magen, a small Israeli kibbutz near the border with Gaza. He was abducted alongside about 250 others on Oct. 7.

Mr. al-Qadi is a member of the country’s Bedouin Arab minority and the first Israeli Arab hostage to be rescued alive since October.

Gabby Sobelman

Isaac Herzog, Israel’s president, called the rescue “a happy moment for the state of Israel and for Israeli society as a whole.” He reiterated his call for the return of the hostages still held in Gaza.

The Israeli military said al-Qadi had been rescued by Israeli soldiers and special forces during a “complex operation” in southern Gaza. In a statement, the military said it could not go into further detail for national security reasons, as well as for the safety of the remaining hostages.

The Israeli military has just confirmed it rescued a hostage. “A living hostage has been recovered from Gaza,” the Israeli military’s chief spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said. The Israeli military identified the man as Farhan al-Qadi, 52, a member of the country’s Bedouin Arab minority.

Reporting from Jerusalem and Beirut, Lebanon

Dread lingers for many in the Middle East after the Israel-Hezbollah clashes.

Hezbollah and Israel appeared to de-escalate after a major confrontation over the weekend, tempering fears of an all-out conflict in the Middle East. But for people across the region, any feelings of relief were undercut by a deeper sense of deadlock.

After over 10 months of war in Gaza, roughly 150,000 displaced Israelis and Lebanese are still waiting to return to their homes along the countries’ border, where Israeli forces and Hezbollah, the Lebanese militia, were trading airstrikes and rocket fire long before Sunday’s escalation.

The violence there is intertwined with the 10-month war in Gaza, where tens of thousands have been killed and nearly the entire population displaced. Many there are still waiting for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, as they huddle into makeshift shelters and streets torn up by Israeli bombardment. The families of the dozens of hostages still held by Hamas and its allies hope for a deal, too, to free their loved ones.

“The mission needs to be to get us home,” said Giora Zaltz, the head of a regional council in northern Israel whose kibbutz, Lehavot HaBashan, saw some residents leave after Hezbollah began firing at Israel last October.

Mr. Zaltz said Israel’s airstrikes on Sunday, which the Israeli military said had pre-empted a significant Hezbollah assault, had done little to change the balance between the two sides. For residents of Israeli border communities, he said, the situation remained frozen: roughly 60,000 Israelis displaced, even as those who stayed behind faced daily rocket fire by Hezbollah.

Israel’s focus in fighting Hezbollah has been “to blow up infrastructure or kill their commanders,” Mr. Zaltz said. But in terms of creating the conditions for displaced Israelis to return home, he added, “for now, the state and the military are failing at this.”

Tensions across the Middle East had been high for weeks after the assassinations in quick succession of Fuad Shukr, a senior leader in Hezbollah, and Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas. The Israeli military said it had killed Mr. Shukr in an airstrike but has not claimed responsibility for Mr. Haniyeh’s death, though Hezbollah and Iran — which backs both groups — vowed serious reprisals against Israel for the killings.

Israel’s predawn strikes on Hezbollah on Sunday were followed by a massive Hezbollah barrage of rockets and drones, though they caused little apparent damage. Both sides quickly declared victory and suggested they would return to what has become the new norm: endless rounds of tit-for-tat strikes. Iran, for its part, appears to have held back its vengeance — at least for now.

In Lebanon, many were relieved after both Israel and Hezbollah signaled that they would step back from all-out war. Zeinab Hourani, a graphic designer who lives in Beirut’s southern suburbs — a Hezbollah stronghold — said the nearly deserted streets were returning to life.

Ms. Hourani said she had put some of her plans on hold and had begun looking for an apartment outside the suburbs, known as Dahiyeh, fearing that Israel would target the area. But after Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, gave a speech Sunday afternoon suggesting that the clashes would be contained, “some people who left because of the tension are back,” she said.

But for the more than 100,000 Lebanese displaced from the country’s south, the conflict and disruption continue. Mr. Nasrallah has vowed to continue fighting until Israel ends its campaign against Hamas in Gaza, and months of cease-fire talks mediated by the United States, Egypt and Qatar have failed to bridge key differences between the two sides.

Fatima al-Srour, who had fled her hometown of Ramyeh, close to the border with Israel, said her father had wanted to pack up and return there after the clashes on Sunday quieted down. But she stopped him, knowing the village was still unsafe.

“We are connected with Gaza, and our return doesn’t appear to be happening soon,” said Ms. al-Srour, 35.

For Gazans, the sense of desperation is even greater as the war approaches the 11-month mark, with more than 40,000 people killed, according to the Gazan Health Ministry.

In Deir al Balah, an area of central Gaza crowded with hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians, Samih Saad waited at a field hospital hoping to receive the latest round of treatment for his leg, which he said was wounded months ago by shrapnel in a blast from a falling shell.

Many Gazans, he said, feared that an expansion of the war across the region could prolong Israel’s offensive in Gaza for months. Even if that prospect has dimmed for now, he said, most held out little hope that the cease-fire talks would succeed.

“Each time there’s a lull, we hope that it might be over soon,” he said. “But that always turns out to be mistaken.”

How we handle corrections

Israeli evacuations orders prompt the U.N. to pause humanitarian operations in Gaza.

United Nations humanitarian operations in the Gaza Strip have ground to a halt, at least temporarily, after the Israeli military ordered the organization to evacuate Deir al-Balah, its main hub in the territory, a senior U.N. official told reporters at a briefing on Monday.

U.N. security personnel were working with the Israeli authorities to resume humanitarian work in Gaza as soon as possible, said the U.N. official, who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity. The Israeli authorities were also working with the U.N. to facilitate the movement of aid, the U.N. official said.

Humanitarian work in Gaza is coordinated with the Israeli authorities, who can slow or stop such efforts depending on security concerns in the area. The Israeli authorities were able to facilitate fewer than half of the planned humanitarian missions and movements in the Gaza Strip in the first few weeks of August, the U.N. office of humanitarian affairs said in a report on Friday , with more than half of all missions and movements blocked, delayed, impeded or canceled.

“The high number of aid missions that the Israeli authorities do not facilitate means that people who barely have the means to survive — access to clean drinking water, adequate food and shelter, to name a few — are often left with nothing at all,” Georgios Petropoulos, the leader of the U.N. office’s Gaza mission, said in a statement to The New York Times.

The Gaza Coordination and Liaison Administration, an Israeli agency that coordinates humanitarian activities, did not respond to a request for comment. The Israeli military directed comments to COGAT, the Israeli body that oversees policy in the Palestinian territories and that oversees the coordination and liaison administration.

The U.N. humanitarian affairs office on Friday warned that “ongoing intense fighting, damaged roads, a breakdown of law and order and access challenges along the main humanitarian route” have led to critical food shortages in Gaza. The number of children diagnosed with acute malnutrition through arm screenings increased substantially across Gaza between May and July, it reported, noting that since January, 14,750 children ages 6 months to nearly 5 years, out of 239,580 screened, had been diagnosed with acute malnutrition.

The U.S. will keep the aircraft carrier Roosevelt in the Middle East.

Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III has extended the tour of the Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier in the Middle East, the Pentagon said on Monday, reflecting the tensions in the region and persistent concern that Iran will retaliate for the assassination of a senior Hamas leader in Tehran.

Mr. Austin decided over the weekend to prolong the Roosevelt’s time in the region, Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, told reporters on Monday, meaning that the United States will have two carriers and their accompanying warships there in the coming days.

The Pentagon’s decision comes after Israel and Hezbollah fired rockets, missiles and drones at each other over the weekend. Hezbollah had responded to the bombardment of southern Lebanon on Sunday by Israeli military aircraft to stop what Israel said were preparations for a major attack by the Lebanese-based militant group.

John Kirby, the White House’s national security spokesman, said, “We’re maintaining a pretty robust force posture there to be able to defend ourselves and defend Israel should it have come to that.”

He called Hezbollah’s attack on Israel over the weekend significant enough to prompt the movement of additional American forces into the region.

“What Hezbollah launched into the early morning hours Sunday was certainly a sizable attack,” Mr. Kirby said, “different in scope than what we tend to see on a daily basis between Israel and Hezbollah. Hopefully, it won’t.”

The carrier Abraham Lincoln arrived recently in the Gulf of Oman, where the Roosevelt has been operating. The Roosevelt had been scheduled to depart this week, but General Ryder declined to say how much longer the ship would remain in the region. Another Pentagon official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss operational matters, said it would be about two weeks.

The Pentagon’s move comes even as Israel and Hezbollah appeared to de-escalate after firing rockets, missiles and drones at each other over the weekend, averting a wider Middle East war, at least for now. But General Ryder said the United States must take seriously vows by Iran to avenge the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’s political leader, last month.

Israel’s military has not commented on the assassination. But Hamas and Iran have blamed Israel for the killing, and U.S. intelligence has assessed that Israel was behind it.

“We continue to assess that there is a threat of attack, and we remain well postured to be able to support Israel’s defense, as well as to protect our forces,” General Ryder said.

As part of a coordination between the U.S. and Israeli militaries, Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, chief of the general staff of the Israeli military, met with the U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., during his visit to Israel this week, the Israeli military said in a statement.

The commanders discussed security, strategic issues and strengthening regional partnerships as part of the response to threats in the Middle East, the statement said.

Harris prepares for return to the campaign trail with Georgia bus tour

Vice President Harris is preparing to return to the campaign trail, with plans for a two-day bus tour in Georgia with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), that is scheduled to begin Wednesday and culminate with a rally in Savannah on Thursday. The tour will include the first campaign events Harris has held since her acceptance of her party’s nomination last week at the Democratic National Convention. CNN announced Harris and Walz will sit for an interview Thursday that will air that evening at 9 p.m. Neither Harris nor Trump is on the campaign trail Tuesday. Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), campaigned in Michigan, a day after Trump visited the battleground state.

Beirut Hadsel

BEIRUT HADSEL

After the fiasco of having to cancel large parts of the tours in 2019 I was looking for a place to recover. I had started that year full of optimism, hoping that I had made enough changes to my life to handle the road this time. In the end my own body, through persistent throat issues, had proven me wrong. I was left in a state of shock and severe self-doubt, feeling like I had let down not only thousands of fans but also my band and myself. I began to question if my voice would ever fully recover, or if I would even be able to play shows again and what that meant for my career. I just wanted to escape. The darkness of winter had always been a solace to me in times past. Seeking the most extreme version of that, I dreamt of going to a small cabin in the dark arctic winter where the sun never rises above the horizon.

In the first days of 2020, I arrived on Hadsel, an island in the middle of Vesterålen, far up in the northern part of Norway. The cabin I rented had a beautiful view of the mountains and water but my personal highlight was that it came complete with a pump organ on “infinite“ loan from an organ-loving neighbor. This unique instrument is what had inspired me to bring my studio with me, a nightmare transit process that I was too stubborn to avoid. Besides the usual recording equipment, a set of small monitors, an old portable Austrian tape machine, my ever-present trumpet, and some winter clothes, I decided to also take two large rigs of modular synthesizers complete with a midi keyboard controller with me. In the years prior I had been teaching myself how to navigate these old analog machines which had become a new obsession of mine. This amounted to about five or six overweight suitcases in total. How I thought of this as a form of retreat and rejuvenation I will never know. I believe at this point my friends and family were convinced I had lost my mind, or would do so in the polar night.

In my time there I became friends with some of the families who lived in the nearby houses and was introduced to the fellow organ-enthusiast and collector named Oddvar. Being one of the stand-in organists, he was able to give me access to the local church down the road. So it was in Hadselkirke, a beautiful octagonal wood construction from the early 1800s, where for the first time in my life I sat at the keys of a real church organ. For the following two months I would come and go from the church with my microphones and tape machine, working out songs through the dark and snowy nights.

I worked hard on the music, lost in a trance and stumbling blindly through my own mental collapse that I had been pushing aside since I was a teenager. It came and rang me like a bell. I was left agonising many things past and present while the beauty of the nature, the northern lights and fearsome storms played an awesome show around me. The few hours of light would expose the unfathomable beauty of the mountains and the fjords, and the hours-long twilights would fill me with subdued excitement. I’d like to believe that scenery is somehow present in the music.

By the time I returned to Berlin the world closed down on itself for covid lockdowns. To me that was simply an invitation to hunker down in my attic studio / apartment in Lichtenberg to finish what I started in Norway. I rediscovered the baritone uke, an instrument I had bought but never really used before, as a perfect accompaniment for the warm pump organ drones. Now finally having a proper studio space again, I had my French horn along with other instruments shipped out from storage in New York to add to the sound. And that’s when HADSEL started to take shape. Where I normally may have called on the band for help fleshing out the songs, I instead decided on returning to the DIY approach of my first record, layering hand drums and shakers on top of old drum machines and the strange synth percussion sounds I had created in Norway. I determined a course of self-reliance to be best, partly due to covid’s interference in travel, and partly to prove to myself I could somehow manage on my own again.
