Both Tehran and Hamas blame Israel for the killing but Israel hasn't confirmed or denied involvement.

Both Tehran and Hamas blame Israel for the killing but Israel hasn't confirmed or denied involvement.This week's events could determine the course of the war in Gaza .nations are bracing for the potential widening of the Israel-Hamas war amid threats by Iran to avenge the killing of Hamas' political leader in Tehran last week.

Hundreds of Lebanese prepared to flee the country as nations called on their citizens to leave Lebanon. The US embassy in Beirut on Saturday encouraged citizens who wish to depart "to book any ticket" as several airlines suspended or canceled flights to the country. In Israel, the government evaluated its preparedness and options should Iran and its regional proxies attack, while citizens stocked up on supplies in anticipation of an Iranian assault.

Israel could also face an attack from its northern front. Israel assassinated Fu'ad Shukr, a high-ranking Hezbollah commander, last week in response to the killing of 12 children with a rocket on the town of Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said Shukr's killing "crossed red lines" and will be met with an "inevitable" response, hinting at coordination with other regional groups.

He said Israel had an "ironclad commitment" to return all hostages, adding that he's "ready to go a long way" to win the release of all hostages while maintaining Israel's security. The US embassy in Beirut said that some commercial options out of the country remained available despite several airlines suspending or canceling flights, and other flights selling out.

Walking shirtless on the corniche with his elderly father, Othman said a lifetime under multiple wars had strengthened him and his countrymen. "The country is used to problems and shocks. We can't live in fear. Fear can only prevent you from living but it won't prevent death." "This is not a leadership. It's an existence-ship . This is a situation that we have to live with unfortunately," Liz Nicholas, 31, said, lowering the placard she's holding at the march. "They don't represent me. I don't think of them as my government or my leadership. They just exist. And for some reason we have to be ok with it or live outside the country like most of us are doing.
