Lebanon's health ministry said two people were killed and another wounded in two Israeli strikes on the country's south Saturday, the latest attacks despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.

The Israeli military said Saturday it had conducted an air strike targeting an alleged Islamic Jihad militant in central Gaza, despite a ceasefire brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday thanked Qatar's emir and prime minister for being a "big factor" in helping secure a Gaza ceasefire deal, during a refueling stop on his way to Asia.

A convoy of Egyptian trucks and vehicles transporting heavy machinery entered Gaza overnight to help locate the remains of Israeli hostages in the territory, AFP footage showed.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday that more countries are ready to normalize relations with Israel but the decision would await a broader regional agreement.

The United States named a veteran diplomat as the civilian lead in a body monitoring the Gaza ceasefire, seeking to push forward a durable end to the war.

The main Palestinian political factions, including Hamas, said Friday they had agreed that an independent committee of technocrats would take over the running of post-war Gaza.

Spain's top criminal court said Friday it had opened an investigation for alleged complicity in crimes against humanity or genocide into executives at the steelmaker Sidenor for trading with an Israeli arms company.

Spain, one of the fiercest critics of the Israeli offensive in Gaza, said it had stopped exchanging weapons with the country after the conflict started with the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.

Four people were killed and another 12 wounded at a train station in northern Ukraine on Friday, police said, when a 23-year-old man detonated an explosive device during document checks.

"State Border Guard Service employees were checking the documents of passengers on a diesel train. At that moment, one of them took out an explosive device on the platform, which then detonated," the national police service said in a statement, adding that the perpetrator was among those killed.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday he did not believe that Israel would annex the West Bank, playing down this week's Knesset vote to advance two bills.

Rubio said Israeli lawmakers had held the vote as a political stunt to embarrass U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
