#BREAKING | 🇮🇱 🇱🇧 🇮🇷 — Israel says Lebanese Army failing to disarm Hezbollah in pilot zone Israeli officials have told The Jerusalem Post that the Lebanese Armed Forces are “not doing enough” to disarm Hezbollah roughly three weeks into a U.S.-backed pilot program in southern Lebanon. The initiative, launched around July 20, involves the transfer of security responsibility in three villages (including Zawtar al-Gharbiyah and Srifa) to the Lebanese Army. While troops have entered the area and uncovered some weapons caches, officials said the effort falls short of fully confronting Hezbollah infrastructure. Israel has indicated the program will not expand unless the area is fully demilitarized. Further talks are expected in September. The Global Eye | Subscribe ✈️

#BREAKING | 🇲🇦 🇪🇸 — Moroccan authorities intercept hundreds of migrants near Ceuta border amid heightened security On August 15, 2026, Moroccan police arrested at least 111 people (reports range up to nearly 300 intercepted) attempting to reach Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta, using tear gas to disperse groups gathered on hills about 3 km from the border near Fnideq. Most of those detained were from sub-Saharan Africa, with a smaller number of Moroccan nationals. The incident came roughly two weeks after a major surge in late July, when an estimated 50,000–72,000 people crossed into Ceuta, prompting a rapid return of the majority and dozens of reported deaths. Authorities on both sides had increased security in response to social media calls for another mass attempt. No large-scale successful entry into Ceuta was reported in this latest incident.
