Meanwhile, in Lebanon, Israel is doubling down on its plans to take control of large portions of the southern part of the country.
Its latest push into Lebanon came at the start of the war, after the Hezbollah militia fired rockets in solidarity with Iran.
But Israel is now suggesting it could hold that territory even after the conflict ends.
Israel has conducted widespread airstrikes and sent ground troops into the region, displacing hundreds of thousands of people just in the south.
Its attacks across Lebanon have killed more than 1,200 people, according to Lebanese authorities.
The fighting between Israel and Hezbollah is intensifying, and it's raising fears for many Lebanese about how long Israeli forces could try to occupy the territory.
The last time Israel invaded and took over large parts of Lebanon was in the early 1980s, when it tried to subdue Palestinian groups launching attacks from there.
That occupation lasted 18 years.

She added that overall, ICE has, quote, higher detention standards than most U.S.
prisons.
