Israeli strikes hit southern Lebanon and Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel, one day after rare direct negotiations between the two sides were held in the United States.

Conservative outlets are likely to emphasize Hezbollah's rocket attacks on Israel as provocation undermining ceasefire efforts, frame Trump's challenge to Powell as legitimate executive oversight of an unelected central banker, and highlight the nationality of the DHS employee's alleged killer as relevant to immigration enforcement policy.
