Israeli Airstrikes Kill 2 in Lebanon; U.S. Launches Preemptive Strikes in Yemen
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israeli airstrikes in eastern Lebanon Monday killed at least two people
believed to be members of Hezbollah. Israel's attacks on Baalbek came
after Hezbollah confirmed it had shot down an Israeli drone in southern
Lebanon. Later on Monday, Hezbollah said it fired dozens of rockets at
an Israeli military base in retaliation.

Elsewhere, U.S. forces says it carried out preemptive strikes against
Houthi targets in Yemen, destroying missiles, unmanned vessels and a
drone.
