Tensions are escalating along the Israeli-Lebanese border as Israel and Hezbollah exchanged fire on Thursday, raising fears of a broader conflict in the region. The skirmishes follow a series of deadly incidents involving explosive devices used by the Iranian-backed terrorist organization.
On Thursday morning, the Israeli Air Force carried out heavy bombardments on Hezbollah cells in Lebanon, as Hezbollah's secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah, addressed the attacks. Nasrallah acknowledged the devastating impact on Hezbollah, calling the incidents an “unprecedented” blow but vowed that the group would continue fighting until the conflict in Gaza ends.

ISRAEL'S WAR AGAINST HAMAS TERROR
US details intelligence it says clears Israel in Gaza hospital blast. American officials claimed “high confidence” that the al-Ahli Hospital explosion was not Israel's fault, but they are less certain a Palestinian group was to blame.

PENTAGON WOKE WATCH
THIS LATEST ‘FIRST' SHOWS THINGS ARE GETTING RIDICULOUS – Navy promotes first female mortician to senior chief petty officer. This, for the first time in Navy history.
NATIONAL SECURITY

Arctic strategy implementation plan calls for enhanced military comms, and sensing. White House published the implementation plan for its 10-year Arctic strategy, including new directives to bolster security and deter adversary activity in the region.
War in Middle East looms over Marines' 40th memorial of Beirut attack. Gen. Eric Smith, the Marine commandant, had a blunt message for anyone who would target the Marine expeditionary unit now heading into the region near Israel.

POLITICS
Republicans nominate Mike Johnson for House speaker after Emmer's withdrawal, desperate to end chaos. This, hours after Rep. Tom Emmer, abruptly withdrew in the face of opposition from Donald Trump and hardline GOP lawmakers.
CHINA THREAT
KETTLE – BLACK – GASLIGHTING – China said the US is a disruptor of peace in response to Pentagon report on China's military buildup. It said the U.S. is “biggest disruptor of regional peace and stability” in the world in a scathing response to a Pentagon report on China's growing military buildup.
Chinese government removes defense minister missing for weeks. The Chicoms replaced Defense Minister Gen. Li Shangfu, who has been out of public view for almost two months. No additional info was given.

SPACE THREAT
Training for a combat ready force in space. “We used to fly satellites a long time on orbit. We weren't thinking about combat attrition. Likewise, we weren't thinking about space operations in terms of an adversary trying to deny us…” We think differently now.
INTERNATIONAL SECURITY

UK lawmakers say ‘limited', ‘modest' Indo-Pacific presence not enough to address China threat. UK's Defense Committee also called for greater support of Pacific nations and more clarity on the AUKUS submarine program.
US MILITARY
US Space Force's 1st official painting shows military space plane intercepting adversary satellite. The “futuristic intercept vehicle” is based on historical space planes and the artist's imagination.
