In a speech Friday, Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah said “we cannot stay silent” in response to the killing of a Hamas leader in Beirut while also seeming to suggest an openness to negotiating on border demarcation with Israel — but only after a cease-fire in Gaza.
The State Department is offering up to $10 million in reward for information “leading to the disruption of financial mechanisms” of Hamas, the militant group behind the Oct. 7 attack in Israel. It is seeking information on five financiers, a notice said.
At least 22,600 people have been killed in Gaza and 57,910 wounded since the war began, the Gaza Health Ministry said. Israel estimates that 1,200 people were killed in the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas.
