Here are Monday’s latest updates:
■ Iran’s missile program and support for its regional proxies were excluded from the U.S.-Iran negotiations and are not part of the reported agreement, according to Iran’s semi-official Mehr News Agency.
■ The IDF carried out strikes in southern Lebanon’s al-Khiam and Haris, using booby-trapped vehicles, according to the Lebanese news agency. It was also reported that a drone struck a vehicle in the village of Tebnine, and that the IDF carried out artillery strikes in that same village and in the town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa.
■ Israeli politicians, both from the opposition and within the coalition, harshly criticized the U.S.-Iran deal that was finalized overnight into Monday, while National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said that Israel is not bound by the agreement.
■ Defense Minister Israel Katz said that “the IDF will remain in the security zones in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza – indefinitely – to defend the border and Israeli communities against jihadist elements.”
■ Police arrested six suspects after settlers set fire to a mosque and cars in the West Bank villages of Deir Dibwan and Burqa, near Ramallah, on Sunday, law enforcement authorities announced on Monday morning.
■ Two complete, rare marble statues from the late Roman period were uncovered in a salvage excavation at the entrance to Binyamina in northern Israel. One bears an inscription with the name “Lycurgus,” known from the Greek-Roman world, raising questions about whether it depicts a specific historical figure from some 1,700 years ago.
