Sukkot

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam told the UN General Assembly that 'no one speaks on behalf of Lebanon' and demanded Israel withdraw from the south, as Israeli strikes continued in Nabatieh and other areas. Iran's foreign minister outlined a seven-day roadmap to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if the US lifts sanctions and halts regional operations, while President Pezeshkian said Iran 'will not bend the knee' and would respond powerfully to any attack. The IDF announced it killed two Hamas operatives in Gaza City, including a commander who held four hostages, and launched an interceptor at a 'suspicious aerial target' over southern Lebanon.

G7 foreign ministers called on Iran to end its arming of and support for the Houthis in Yemen, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian departed for New York to defend Tehran's positions at the UN General Assembly. In the West Bank, Palestinian reports described a wave of settler attacks on villages and the IDF tightened its closure of Ramallah. Israel entered Sukkot on high alert after the killing of an Israeli man near Neve Tzuf.
