JERUSALEM (AP) — Hezbollah fired into a disputed border zone held by Israel on Monday, the militant group’s first attack since its ceasefire with Israel took hold last week, after Lebanon accused Israel of violating the truce more than 50 times in recent days. The Israeli military said two projectiles were launched toward Mount Dov, a disputed Israeli-held territory known as Shebaa Farms in Lebanon, where the borders of Lebanon, Syria, and Israel meet. Israel said the projectiles fell in open areas and no injuries were reported. Hezbollah said in a statement that it fired on an Israeli military position in the area as a “defensive and warning response” after what it called “repeated violations” of the ceasefire deal by Israel. It said complaints to mediators tasked with monitoring the ceasefire “were futile in stopping these violations.” The U.S.- and French-brokered ceasefire came into effect on Wednesday calling for a 60-day halt in fighting, aiming to end more than a year of exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and Israel.

President Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter, is set to reverberate on Capitol Hill this week, as lawmakers react to the news after years of GOP investigations targeting the younger Biden’s business dealings. The president announced “a full and unconditional pardon” for Biden Sunday night, arguing in a lengthy statement that the charges brought against his son were fueled by politics. Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to nine federal tax charges and was found guilty of three felony gun charges. He was set to face sentencing this month. The pardon was a sharp reversal for Biden: The president and White House secretary in recent months had said that the president did not plan to pardon his son, reiterating that position even after President-elect Trump won the election. The grant of clemency is set to take up much of the oxygen on Capitol Hill this week, with the Senate returning to session on Monday and the House set to reconvene on Tuesday. Republicans ripped Biden’s decision immediately after the announcement, labeling the president a liar and contending that the pardon proves Hunter Biden is above the law.

(NewsNation) — Missing Maui woman Hannah Kobayashi purposefully skipped her connecting flight at Los Angeles International Airport on Nov. 8, according to Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell. Kobayashi disappeared and stopped contacting her family just days after missing a connecting flight from Maui to New York at LAX, which “the investigation determined was intentional,” McDonnell said at a Nov. 26 Board of Police Commissioners meeting. Loved ones flew to California to form a search party following cryptic texts and radio silence from Kobayashi, with volunteers joining the mission as the case grows nationally.

In a statement posted on Facebook by the RAD Movement, a nonprofit organization that works to find people, the organization said the 58-year-old “tragically took his own life.” The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office and LAPD confirmed his identity.

By The Associated Press Travelers heading home after the Thanksgiving holiday set a record on Sunday, as airport officers screened more than 3 million people. The Transportation Security Administration said Monday that it handled 3.09 million travelers, breaking the previous record by about 74,000. That mark was set on July 7, also a Sunday after a holiday. Hundreds of thousands of travelers were delayed or had their flights canceled. Airlines canceled about 120 U.S. flights — not an unusually high number — and more than 6,800 flights were delayed, according to FlightAware. The largest numbers of delays were at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. The TSA had predicted that Thanksgiving week air travel would rise 6% over the same days last year, fitting a pattern of record travel in 2024.
