Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netnayahu stated in a media interaction that Israel would have the right to maintain a "security zone" within Lebanon until "no further threat" is posed to the former.

"We will continue to hold it until Hezbollah and the rest of the terrorist organizations are disarmed, and until no further threat to Israel is posed from Lebanon," Netanyahu stated.

The Israeli PM stated ths was the result of a framework of understanding mediated by the US and recognised by it and Lebanon.

The US Central Command stated in an 'X' article that the latest attack against ten targets of Iran was in response to a "one-way attack drone" that hit  the Panama-flagged oil tanker M/T Kiku at 4:30 a.m. Eastern Time.

"CENTCOM forces launched strikes today in direct response to continued Iranian aggression against commercial shipping," the article said.
