Israel is not looking to wage war with Hezbollah militants on its northern border, but is focused instead on battling Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Israeli President Isaac Herzog said on Tuesday during a meeting with French head of state Emmanuel Macron.

"I want to make clear, we are not looking for a confrontation on our northern border or with anyone else ... But if Hezbollah drags us into a war, it should be clear that Lebanon will pay the price," Herzog said.

Four civilians including two students were killed on Friday in the Syrian city of Aleppo in insurgent shelling of university student dormitories, the state news agency SANA reported.
Opposition led by the extremist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham launched an incursion on Wednesday into a dozen towns and villages in the northwestern province of Aleppo, which is controlled by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government forces.
The next day, Russian and Syrian warplanes bombed opposition-held northwest Syria near the border with Türkiye to try to push back an insurgent offensive that had captured territory for the first time in years, Syrian army and opposition sources said.
The attack was the biggest since March 2020 when Russia, which backs Assad, and Türkiye, which supports the opposition, agreed to a ceasefire to end years of fighting that had uprooted millions of Syrians opposed to Assad's rule.
