Israel mounts heavy air strikes in southern Lebanon
Israel has launched dozens of air strikes in south Lebanon in one of its heaviest bombardments of the region since a ceasefire ended the war in 2024 with Iran-backed Hezbollah.
The Israeli military said it had hit a Hezbollah infrastructure site in the south.
There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah, which has previously said that it withdrew all its forces from the south in line with the US-brokered truce.
Lebanon's health ninistry said at least one person was killed and another eight wounded in the strikes.
Thick columns of smoke rose from the hilltops hit in the attacks in the Nabatieh region, about 10km from the border.
Israel, which inflicted huge damage on Hezbollah during last year's war, has been carrying out air strikes in south Lebanon on a regular basis since the ceasefire, and has also struck the Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs of Beirut several times.
The ceasefire terms require that neither Hezbollah nor any other armed group have weapons in areas near the border south of the Litani river, which flows into the Mediterranean some 20km north of the Israeli border.
They require Israel to withdraw troops from the south and that the Lebanese army deploy into the border region.
Lebanon and Israel have accused each other of failing to fully implement the deal.
Israel still has troops on five hilltop positions in the south. Rockets have been fired from Lebanon towards Israel twice, though Hezbollah denied any role.
Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem has said the group has no more weapons in south Lebanon, in line with the ceasefire terms.
Lebanese authorities have detained Palestinian militants, including Hamas members, accused of firing rockets towards Israel from Lebanon on two occasions since the ceasefire.
Both attacks prompted Israeli airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs.
Israel killed thousands of Hezbollah fighters in the war, destroyed much of its arsenal and eliminated top leaders, including Hassan Nasrallah.
The war spiralled after Hezbollah opened fire at the beginning of the Gaza war, declaring solidarity with its Palestinian ally Hamas.

Elon Musk attacks President Donald Trump's spending bill
Elon Musk launched a series of attacks on Saturday against a massive spending bill that would fund much of President Donald Trump's agenda, renewing his criticisms as Senate Republicans rush to pass a package dubbed the 'big, beautiful bill' in order to meet a July 4 deadline set by Trump. 'The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!' Musk wrote in a post on X. 'Utterly insane and destructive. It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.' Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today The billionaire and former Trump adviser amplified a poll that suggests the 'big, beautiful bill' is politically unpopular due to its budgetary effects, a notion that was affirmed this month by several separate surveys. Forty percent of Republican respondents to a recent NBC News Decision Desk poll said 'ensuring the national debt is reduced' is the most important issue as Congress considers the Trump-backed mega-bill. Overall, a majority of respondents said maintaining current spending levels on programs like Medicaid is the most important issue. 'Polls show that this bill is political suicide for the Republican Party,' Musk wrote on X. Musk has long been a critic of Trump's 'big, beautiful bill,' balking at its expected impact on the national deficit and arguing that it would offset government savings brought in by the Department of Government Efficiency, an office Trump appointed him to lead earlier this year. He maintained that opinion on Saturday, expressing it through several posts on his platform, X — including one post that attacked the bill's expected effect on the deficit as 'putting America in the fast lane to debt slavery!' Trump previously argued that Musk only opposed the legislation because of provisions aimed at stripping away electric vehicle tax credits. Musk today called a provision in the bill that he framed as targeting clean energy production 'incredibly destructive to America'. The Tesla chief's departure from the White House, where he formally served as a special government employee, came a day after he publicly expressed his criticisms of the bill during an interview with CBS Sunday Morning. 'I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful, I don't know if it can be both,' Musk said at the time. While Musk no longer commands similar levels of influence in Washington, his past opposition to the bill emboldened Republicans lawmakers, some of whom, like Musk, took issue with its expected $US 4 trillion ($A 6 trillion) increase to the national deficit. The renewed criticism by Musk comes as Senate Republicans rush to whip enough votes to pass the 940-page mega-bill amid breaks in the party over certain provisions, including expected cuts to Medicaid that could strip funding from rural hospitals. Senator Thom Tillis, cited the loss of rural hospital funding in explaining his decision to oppose the bill. Earlier this month, shortly after the House of Representatives passed its version of the bill, Musk urged his more than 200 million followers on X to tell Congress to 'kill the bill.'

Head of nuclear agency concedes he ‘doesn't know' whether Iran's nuclear material remains intact
The head of the international agency responsible for monitoring Iran's nuclear development has made a troubling admission, conceding he 'doesn't know' whether the country managed to move its stockpile of enriched uranium to safety before the American strikes. Rafael Grossi is Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Today he spoke to Face the Nation, a current affairs program on CBS News in the United States. 'People here are looking for clarity, and there's confusion,' host Margaret Brennan said. 'The Defence Intelligence Agency assesses that Iran's program was set back by a few months, but once they dig out they could resume in a number of months. 'The CIA and the Director of National Intelligence (Trump appointee Tusli Gabbard) say the facilities were destroyed and it would take years to rebuild. 'Israel says the military program is set back by many years. 'What's the truth here? What do you make of these assessments?' Ms Brennan could have also cited President Donald Trump himself, who claimed in the immediate aftermath of the strikes that Iran's nuclear sites had been 'obliterated'. Or Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, who said 'Iran's nuclear ambitions have been obliterated'. Or White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who said the strikes 'took away Iran's ability to create a nuclear bomb'. 'You know what? This hourglass approach, with weapons of mass destruction, is not a good idea,' Mr Grossi said. 'All of that depends on your metrics. If you tell me it will take them two months or three months – for what? 'The capacities they have are there. They can have, in a matter of months I would say, a few cascades of centrifuges spinning and producing enriched uranium. Or less than that. 'But frankly, one cannot say that everything has disappeared and there is nothing there. Because first of all, it is clear that there has been severe damage, but it is not total damage. But Iran has the capacities there, industrial and technological capacities. 'If they wish, they will be able to start doing this again.' He did concede that Iran's 'protective measures' ahead of the American strikes could have included the 'movement of materials', as suggested by a series of satellite images from the days beforehand, which showed trucks leaving the Fordow nuclear facility. 'We don't know. We saw the same images that the whole world has seen,' Mr Grossi said, referring to those satellite images. The fear, here, is that Iran managed to move its stores of highly enriched uranium to safety. Ms Brennan noted that Iran possessed 'just under 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium' before Israel and the United States launched their attacks. 'Do you have any idea where that was moved, and if it was moved before the attack?' Ms Brennan asked. 'We presume, and I think it's logical to presume, that when they announced they were going to be taking protective measures, this could be part of it,' said Mr Grossi. 'But we don't know where this material could be, or whether part of it could have been under attack during those 12 days. 'Some could have been destroyed as part of the attack, but some could have been moved. 'There has to be, at some point, a verification. If we don't get that verification, this will continue to hang over our heads as a problem.' Ms Brennan said she was probing at the 'open question' of whether Iran 'could sprint towards a bomb'. 'If we don't know where the highly enriched uranium is, and cannot account for all the centrifuges, is that still a risk?' she asked. 'We don't want to be alarmist here, and I don't want to be part of a messaging that would be spreading alarm,' said Mr Grossi. 'But we need to be in a position to confirm what is there, and where is it, and what happened. Iran had a very vast, ambitious program. Part of it may still be there. And if not, there is also the self-evident truth that the knowledge is there. The industrial capacity is there. Iran is a very sophisticated country, in terms of nuclear technology. 'You can't disinvent this.' He stressed that 'we are not going to solve this in a definitive way militarily'. 'You are going to (have to have) an agreement, and an inspection system,' he said. Mr Grossi's point, repeated throughout the interview, was that Iran likely retains the capacity to develop nuclear weapons, despite the damage caused by America's attack. 'There is an agreement in describing this as a very serious level of damage. It can be described in different ways, but at facilities where Iran used to have capabilities in treatment and enrichment of uranium, (that has) been destroyed to an important degree. Some is still standing,' he said. 'So there is, of course, an important setback in terms of those capabilities. This is clear. Now the important issue is, what are the next steps? 'I think we have a snapshot of a program that has been very seriously damaged, and now what we need to focus on is the next steps.' He said he 'wholeheartedly' supports Trump envoy Steve Witkoff's attempts to reach a negotiated deal with Iran, but 'it's not going to be easy' in the aftermath of the strikes. Ms Brennan pointed out that Iran's parliament just passed a law saying it would not be co-operating with the IAEA, and the country's Foreign Minister had specifically said Mr Grossi would be barred from entering the country. 'This is why it's so important that we sit down around the table,' said Mr Grossi. 'Iran is party to the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. That implies that they need to work with the agency. 'So we have been going through this law they approved, and we see that they are talking about co-operation on the basis of the security and the safety of their sites. I think that is not incompatible with the inspection work that needs to take place. 'At the end of the day, this whole thing, will have to have a long-term solution.' Pressed on whether Iran was kicking out IAEA inspectors, Mr Grossi hinted the answer was no, though he did not say as much directly. 'An international treaty takes precedence. You cannot invoke an internal law to not abide with an international law,' he said. 'I think we have to go down into the details, because the work will have to continue. Otherwise nobody will have an idea of what is happening in Iran. Iran will continue with a nuclear program, the contours of which are yet to be seen.'

Barnaby Joyce says ‘bipartisan concern' in US about PM meeting Trump
A Coalition heavyweight has called on Anthony Albanese to lock in a meeting with Donald Trump after two of the staunchest supporters of the US-Australia alliance urged the Prime Minister to visit Washington. Six months have passed since Mr Trump's inauguration and Mr Albanese is yet to secure an in-person meeting with the US President. Australian producers have been slugged with tariffs on most exports to the US, including duties of up to 50 per cent on steel and aluminium, and doubts loom large about the Trump administration's commitment to AUKUS. The Albanese government has also made Australia an outlier in the West on defence spending, refusing to budge after Washington's request to hike it to 3.5 per cent of GDP amid alarm bells over China's military build-up. Speaking to Australian media, Republican representative Michael McCaul and Democrat colleague Joe Courtney said Mr Albanese would benefit from a one-on-one with Mr Trump. 'For (Albanese) to come to the White House would be a great gesture on the Prime Minister's part, that I think would go over very well,' Mr McCaul told the Australian Financial Review. 'That would be very sound advice for him to do that.' Mr McCaul and Mr Courtney are co-chairs of a congressional working group on AUKUS, which the Trump administration is reviewing. Asked about the comments on Monday, Social Services Minister Tanya Plibersek said she was 'sure the Prime Minister's very much looking forward to' meeting Mr Trump. 'We're awaiting confirmation of a suitable time, and I'm sure when that confirmation comes through, the Prime Minister will be very happy to visit Washington,' she told Seven's Sunrise. 'He's had a number of calls with President Trump.' Ms Plibersek noted there had been numerous meetings at the ministerial level, including Foreign Minister Penny Wong's upcoming Quad summit in Washington. She also praised Australia's ambassador, Kevin Rudd. 'Ambassador Rudd … is the Energiser Bunny of diplomacy,' Ms Plibersek said. 'He will be meeting with all of the members of the congress and Senate and people close to Donald Trump. 'There's a lot of communication going on both ways, but it's not the sort of thing where you just pop in with a plate of scones, hoping someone's home.' But appearing opposite the senior minister, Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce took a different view. He said the approach was not good enough. 'Ambassador Rudd might be the Energiser Bunny, but he hasn't energised a meeting between President Trump and the Prime Minister of Australia,' Mr Joyce said. 'We've gotta do that. When two people either side of the political fence in the United States say 'you better get over here' – they've obviously got a genuine bipartisan concern.' He also blasted Mr Albanese for having 'four meetings with the leader of China but no meetings with the President of the United States'. Mr Albanese is finalising details for his state visit to China mid next month. It will be his fourth meeting with Xi Jinping since winning power in 2022. Asked at an early morning press conference if a meeting with Mr Trump was in the works, Mr Albanese replied: 'Yes.'
