The US is ready to implement the contingency plans it has put in place to "confront any Iranian threat against its bases in the region," Sky News Arabia reported citing an American military official.

The Israeli military has targeted a car in al-Qusayr area near the Syrian-Lebanese border, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported late Saturday, without giving more details.

Hezbollah announced late Saturday it launched long-range missiles from Lebanon toward the Jerusalem area. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed sirens had sounded in Jerusalem following the launch.

“A short while ago, sirens were sounded in the area of Jerusalem following a launch from Lebanon toward Israeli territory,” the IDF said.

Abbas Nilforoushan, the deputy commander of IRGC for operations, was killed in the Israeli attack on a meeting between Hassan Nasrallah, top Hezbollah members, and IRGC commanders.

In a statement about Nasrallah's death, Khamenei said that the meeting was focused on designing a military plan to counter the recent wave of Israeli attacks in Lebanon.

I will always support Israel’s right to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis."
