Iran launched ballistic missiles at Israel on June 7, the Israeli military said, marking the first such attack since the early April ceasefire.

BEIRUT/JERUSALEM, June 7 (Reuters) - The Israeli ​military said on Sunday it struck Hezbollah infrastructure in the Lebanese capital's southern suburbs after the Lebanese ‌armed group fired at northern Israel, prompting fears of a new escalation in the three-month-old war.

Israeli troops advanced deeper into Lebanon on Sunday, seizing the medieval Beaufort castle for the first time in 26 years amid Hezbollah attacks.

Hasnain Jafer says his time spent in Israeli custody was "harrowing".

The United Nations has added Israeli and Russian forces to its annual blacklist of parties credibly suspected of committing conflict-related sexual violence, placing both countries alongside dozens of governments and armed groups accused of using rape and other forms of sexual violence during armed conflicts.
