Police in Peru announced that they have arrested 3 suspects who planned to murder two Israelis living in the South American country. One of the suspects, Majed Azizi, is an Iranian citizen and a member of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards.

In an unusual step, the war cabinet is expected to meet twice over the coming day for discussions on Israel's delegation to Cairo for hostage negotiations with Hamas.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah referred to the Israeli assassination of senior Revolutionary Guards officers in Damascus and said that: "There will be consequences from Iran as well."
