Deadly shooting outside the Islamic Center of San Diego has left three people dead after two teenage gunmen opened fire near the mosque complex in California. Victims included a security guard who police say may have prevented an even deadlier mass shooting inside the mosque. Authorities later found the two suspects dead from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Investigators are now examining possible anti-Islamic writings recovered from the suspects’ vehicle, while the Federal Bureau of Investigation has joined the investigation into a possible hate crime.

Israel has launched a fresh wave of airstrikes across South Lebanon as tensions with Hezbollah continue to escalate despite a 45-day US-backed ceasefire agreement. The Israeli military says more than 30 Hezbollah-linked targets were struck within just 24 hours after multiple drone and rocket launches from southern Lebanon reportedly crossed into Israeli territory. The renewed violence comes amid rising fears of a wider Middle East conflict, with US-Iran tensions continuing to grow and diplomatic efforts struggling to hold the fragile truce together. Israeli airstrikes reportedly targeted several locations across South Lebanon, while Hezbollah claimed new retaliatory attacks, including strikes linked to Israel’s Iron Dome defense system. WATCH
