After heavy Israel-Hezbollah strikes, the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon remain stuck, even if a wider Middle East war has been averted for now, analysts say.

At least 38 people have been killed in several assaults across Baluchistan Province since Sunday in what appears to be part of a campaign by armed separatists in the region.

The territorial violation by China is the latest in a series of events amplifying tensions between Beijing and Japan.

In an interview with The New York Times, an electoral council official expressed grave doubts about claims to victory by the authoritarian president, Nicolás Maduro.

Beijing likely wants to signal to Myanmar’s junta leaders that they should return to peace talks and de-escalate the conflict, analysts said.

The escalating strikes across the Israel-Lebanon border fueled fears of a bigger conflagration, but both sides signaled that they were de-escalating, for now.

The police say they have arrested a man they believe killed three people and wounded eight others at a festival in the town of Solingen, in western Germany.

Hezbollah’s long-dreaded retaliation for the killing of a senior commander appeared to be over before it began. But analysts said tensions could yet escalate further.

The Israeli military said it had destroyed rocket launchers aimed at Israel. Hezbollah, the Lebanese armed group, later said it had fired hundreds of rockets, but both sides appeared to signal they did not intend to escalate further.

Five people were killed in a Russian town, the local authorities said, while Ukraine reported three dead in a mortar and drone attack.
