2024 campaign: Harris to visit southern border while Trump meets with Zelensky.
CNN: Updated Fri September 27, 2024
• Harris heads to the border: Vice President Kamala Harris plans to go on the offensive against former President Donald Trump on immigration Friday when she visits the US southern border in Arizona for the first time as the Democratic nominee, campaign aides told CNN, as she tries to close the gap with Trump on the issue.
• Trump to meet with Zelensky: Trump met with President Volodymyr Zelensky this morning in New York, amid GOP tensions over Ukraine assistance and a day after the leader met with Harris at the White House. Trump emphasized a “very good relationship” with Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and said “we can work out something that’s good for both sides.” In the afternoon, Trump is campaigning in the key state of Michigan as he looks to block Harris’ path in the blue wall.
• A tight race: New polls in three critical battleground states in the Sun Belt — Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina — find no clear leader in the presidential race as national polls also show an exceedingly tight race just five weeks until Election Day.
VP debate: Meanwhile, GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance and his Democratic counterpart Tim Walz are preparing to face off in their first debate on Tuesday. Walz is expected to hunker down in Michigan for “debate camp,” while Vance enlists allies for intense debate prep sessions.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said following a military assessment. Israel will be further escalating actions on Hezbollah.
“Hezbollah must not be given a break. [We must] keep working with all our might,” he said in remarks provided by IDF. “We will accelerate offensive ops & bolster all the arrays. Situation requires continued intensive action on all fronts.” Meanwhile, Hezbollah continued to fire barrages of rockets deep into northern Israel, while the IDF responded with strikes on hundreds of the Iran-backed group’s sites, including residential buildings where the military said Hezbollah was hiding rockets and missiles ready for launch at Israel.

Hassan Nasrallah: Terror chief made Hezbollah a regional force, ignored Israeli warnings
Lebanese cleric, 64, was threatening public face of anti-Israel Hezbollah terror group founded by Iran. Was killed by IDF after intensifying rocket attacks on north since Oct. 8.
Hezbollah terror chief Hassan Nasrallah, who led Iranian-backed terror group decades of conflict was killed in airstrike in Beirut on September 27, Israel Defense Forces has confirmed.
Born in the Shia suburbs of Beirut in 1960, the radical Lebanese cleric oversaw Hezbollah’s transformation into a military force regional sway to fight prominently, arab figures in generations. An strategist, Nasrallah reshaped Hezbollah into an archenemy of Israel, cementing alliances with Shiite religious leaders in Iran & Palestinian terror groups such as Hamas.
Nasrallah became secretary general of Hezbollah in 1992 at just 35, the public face of a once shadowy group founded by Iran Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in 1982 to fight Israel. The first group Iran backed, used as a way to export its brand of political Islam to Arab. Despite power he wielded, Nasrallah lived largely in hiding for fear of an Israeli assassination. (An is like) Israel killed his predecessor, Sayyed Abbas al-Musawi, in a helicopter attack.
Nasrallah led Hezbollah when IDF withdrew its forces from southern Lebanon in 2000, after 18 years. Nasrallah grew up in Beirut’s impoverished Karantina district. His family hails from Bazouriyeh, a village in Lebanon’s predominantly Shiite south, today forms Hezbollah’s political heartland part of a generation of young Lebanese Shiites whose political outlook was shaped by Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Before leading group, he used to spend nights with frontline guerrillas fighting Israel so-called security stone that IDF had set up inside southern Lebanon to distance terror groups from border. His 18-year-old son, Hadi, a Hezbollah fighter, was killed with 3-other gunmen in Israeli ambush in 1997, a loss gave him legitimacy among his core Shiite constituency in Lebanon.
He was targeted on Friday by Israeli attack on Hezbollah’s main underground HQ that rocked Beirut, latest escalating series of blows over 10 days have shaken group he has led for 32 years. He's unreachable following Israel’s strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs on Friday evening, a source close to Lebanese army group initially told Reuters.

Some 500,000 people may now have been displaced by Israel’s massive bombing campaign across Lebanon.
Israel has continued its assault across Gaza as well, killing at least 15 Palestinians today.

Netanyahu rides wave of euphoria over assassinations as his political fortunes turn around. Mon September 30, 2024. On October 7, Israeli PM’s Benjamin Netanyahu’s self-styled image as “Mister Security” seemed irrevocably shattered by deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. Jewish homeland & leader had failed to protect people. How could he possibly survive?
The polls told us as much. He had formed an extremist coalition govt in November 2022 back by the 32 seats his Likud party secured in 120-seat Knesset. After Hamas’ attack, a string of opinion polls suggested elections held, Likud would get just 17 seats, putting the govt’s long-term survival in jeopardy.
Nearly a year later, Netanyahu has staged a remarkable turnaround. Likud would still struggle to form a govt were elections held today, a brutal campaign of airstrikes in Lebanon, assassinations across Middle East in recent weeks buoyed the prime minister to heights unimaginable immediate aftermath of Hamas’ attacks almost a year ago.
A poll released Sunday by Israel’s Channel 12 showed Likud would win 25 seats were elections to be held today, making it the largest party. Netanyahu enjoys 38% support, according survey.
“The regional confrontations are good for Netanyahu,” veteran pollster analyst Dahlia Scheindlin told CNN. “They seem quite clearly to be contributing factor to his recovery.”
Israel’s aggressive military maneuvers against its enemies, she said, have helped restored a sense of agency and strength destroyed by Hamas’ October 7 attack. War in Gaza is popular in Israel, but it brings with it complex questions around long-term occupation, relations with Palestinians, and most importantly for Israelis, the fact that 101 hostages are still held there. People attend a protest against the government and to show support for the remaining hostages in Tel Aviv, Israel on September 21.

Israel’s military attacks elsewhere are seen at home as more black & white. “It’s clear enemies of Israel,” she said, referring to those whom Israel says it is targeting. “There’s no ambiguity around this question of occupation, et cetera.”:The aggressive military campaign began in April, when an airstrike on Iran’s embassy complex in Syria killed top commander in Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards. Israel did not comment but that was followed by a July airstrike on Beirut that killed Hezbollah’s most senior military official, Fu’ad Shukr. The next day, an explosion in a Tehran government guest house killed Hamas’ political leader, Ismail Haniyeh.
Relentless bombing campaign
Earlier this month pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah in Lebanon exploded across the country, killing dozens and maiming thousands – marking a new phase in that conflict, which began when Hezbollah attacked Israel on October 8, in solidarity with Hamas and the Palestinians in Gaza. Around 60,000 civilians have since been forced from their northern Israeli homes by Hezbollah’s rocket attacks.
Israel has for weeks now operated a relentless bombing campaign across Lebanon against Hezbollah’s infrastructure and leadership. Massive airstrikes in southern Beirut have killed a string of Hezbollah leaders, including its elusive and powerful secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah, as well as more than 1,000 people in Lebanon. It has also forced about 20% of the population – about 1 million people – from their homes, according to aid agencies and the Lebanese government.
A photo taken on September 18, 2024, in Beirut's southern suburbs shows the remains of exploded pagers on display at an undisclosed location. Hundreds of pagers used by Hezbollah members exploded across Lebanon on September 17, killing at least nine people and wounding around 2,800 in blasts the Iran-backed militant group blamed on Israel. “I would like to congratulate the political echelon, led by the prime minister & minister who made the decision on the action in Lebanon,” Gantz said on Sunday. “Better late than never.”
