Israeli forces raided a terror cell in the West Bank while diplomats began pushing back on its cease-fire deal with Hezbollah to the north – two shows of force after the cease-fire in Gaza halted

The sudden expansion of Israeli security operations in the West Bank has killed at least 10 people and follows the start of the delicate ceasefire process in Gaza, by which Israeli hostages are released in stages and will also see the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces.

South Korea's military said on Friday that it suspects North Korea is preparing to send more troops to Russia to fight Ukrainian forces, even after suffering losses and seeing some of its soldiers captured.

Israel's major military operation in the Jenin refugee camp, in the occupied West Bank, forced hundreds to flee their homes on Thursday. The Israeli operation entered its third day, despite the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas in Gaza having come into effect earlier this week.

Hundreds of Jenin residents left their homes in the West Bank city on Thursday, prompted by messages from drones fitted with loudspeakers, witnesses said, as the Israeli military demolished a number of houses on the third day of a major operation.
