President Joseph Aoun said Friday that he condemns the Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs and any attempt to “bring back the circle of violence” to the country.

Speaking during a news conference in Paris, Aoun said the Lebanese Army is investigating who fired two rockets at north Israel in the morning and “we will not allow anyone to use Lebanon as a launching pad."

French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday called an Israeli air strike on a southern suburb of Beirut "unacceptable," saying it was a "violation of the ceasefire" agreed in November.

Such attacks "play into the hands of Hezbollah," Macron told reporters after a meeting with President Joseph Aoun in Paris.

An Israeli airstrike on Friday targeted the Beirut southern suburb of al-Jamous, destroying two buildings, following an Israeli evacuation warning, the first such raid since a November ceasefire largely halted hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.

TV footage showed heavy black smoke billowing from the area, which is densely populated and home to residential buildings and schools.

Lebanon’s state news agency said an Israeli drone strike in the country’s south hit a car, killing two people on Thursday afternoon in the village of Baraasheet.

The National News Agency gave no further details and it was not immediately clear if the two killed were members of Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

Research shows that these crises are a matter of national security for the U.S. and other countries.

Four Real Madrid players including Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior are being investigated for alleged "indecent conduct" during the Champions League game at Atletico Madrid, UEFA said on Thursday.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he was placing 25% tariffs on auto imports, a move the White House claims would foster domestic manufacturing but could also put a financial squeeze on automakers that depend on global supply chains.

"This will continue to spur growth," Trump told reporters Wednesday. "We'll effectively be charging a 25% tariff."

Israeli strikes overnight and into Thursday killed a family of six and a Hamas spokesman in the Gaza Strip.

A strike hit the tent where Abdel-Latif al-Qanoua was staying in the Jabaliya area of northern Gaza, killing him, according to Basem Naim, another Hamas official.

The Trump administration is struggling to stem the fallout from revelations that top national security officials discussed sensitive attack plans over a messaging app and mistakenly added a journalist to the chain.

The White House said the information shared through the publicly available Signal app with Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine, was not classified, an assertion that Democrats said strains credulity considering that it detailed plans for an upcoming attack on Yemen's Houthis.

As Spain choked on stubborn drought last year, a reservoir north of Barcelona emptied, revealing a medieval church.
