But from Jerusalem's perspective, the objective hasn't changed.

Israeli officials argue that Hezbollah still poses a direct and ongoing threat to northern Israel, particularly through its rocket arsenal and anti-tank capabilities.

Over the past couple of years, it has been estimated that Hezbollah maintains an arsenal of anywhere between 150,000 and 200,000 rockets and missiles, most provided to the group by their benefactor, Iran.

And now there are growing concerns that Hezbollah fighters and infrastructure are shifting beyond their traditional strongholds, moving into more densely populated and religiously mixed areas of Beirut.

And that matters because it changes how this war might be fought.

An Israeli military spokesman addressed that directly, warning Hezbollah that Israeli forces will, quote, pursue you and act with great force against you wherever you are, end quote.

In other words, the battlefield is no longer confined to Hezbollah's traditional zones.

At the same time, the regional stakes are starting to rise again.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard is warning of a, quote, regret-inducing response if these strikes continue, signaling that even though Hezbollah paused, Tehran may not remain on the sidelines for long.

Coming up in the back of the brief, Ukraine pulls ahead in the drone war, using a growing fleet of strike UAVs to gain a battlefield edge.

More on that story when we come back.

Hey, Mike Baker here with a message for dog lovers everywhere.

Now, if you're like me, dogs are an important part of family life, right?

We've got two, our 14-year-old golden retriever Hendrix and our very cute but somewhat dim-witted King Charles Spaniel Monty, right?

But when it comes to dog food, I think you know this, there always seems to be a compromise, right?

It's either fresh and healthy or it's easy to store and serve.

And that's why we love Sundays for Dogs.

With the Sundays for Dogs brand, you get both fresh and healthy dog food that's easy to store and serve.

Founded by veterinarian Dr. Tori Waxman, Sundays is created with air-dried, real food made in a human food-grade kitchen using the same ingredients that you'd use to cook for your family.
