The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued a statement on the same day that Hezbollah fired rockets into northern and central Israel on Monday, killing at least one person and injuring many others.

Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RFS) is ready for a ceasefire to end the ongoing conflict that has worsened the humanitarian crisis in the country, senior officials of the faction said at a news briefing in Nairobi, capital of Kenya, on Monday.
Omer Hamdan Ahmed, head of the RSF delegation, said the paramilitary force, which has been engaged in fierce fighting with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) since April 2023, has reaffirmed its willingness for peace and a return to civilian rule.
Ahmed said the move is to ensure humanitarian aid access to all parts of Sudan.
He also accused the Sudanese Armed Forces of not being serious about working out a peaceful solution to the conflict, saying they are responsible for the failure of the negotiations.
So far, there has been no immediate response from the Sudanese Armed forces to the talks.
The warring parties have previously held several rounds of ceasefire talks, but all failed to achieve a ceasefire.
Sudan has been engulfed in a devastating conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF since mid-April 2023. The deadly conflict has resulted in over 24,850 deaths and displaced more than 14 million people, according to estimates by international organizations.
