07/28/2026 July 28, 2026 Israel intercepts drone near Jordanian border Dmytro Hubenko Editor The Israeli air force said on Tuesday morning that it had intercepted a drone close to the border with Jordan — although it provided no information regarding the potential provenance of the weapon.
According to the air force, the drone did not enter Israeli airspace.
The operation came following the interception of two further drones near the Jordanian border on Monday, the provenance of which also remains unclear.
In addition to Israel and the Israeli-occupied West Bank , Jordan also shares borders with Syria , Iraq and Saudi Arabia , giving it a geographically important position amid several regional conflicts. The United States also maintains a military presence on Jordanian air force bases.
Although Israel took joint part in the initial offensive against Iran back in February, it has not participated in the most recent round of strikes.
07/28/2026 July 28, 2026 US confirms next round of Israel-Lebanon talks The US State Department confirmed on Monday that the next round of talks between Israel and Lebanon would begin in Rome next week on August 4.
"In Rome, technical groups will focus on advancing the full implementation of the framework agreement," a State Department official told the French AFP news agency.
The Israel-Lebanon framework deal calls for an end to hostilities, the disarmament of militant group Hezbollah , the deployment of Lebanese military troops in the south of the country, and for Israeli forces to gradually withdraw from Lebanon in two so-called "pilot zones."
The official said the agenda would include "resolving all outstanding border issues," among other things.
"The experience of the initial zones will help us perfect pilot-zone implementation so it can expand in a phased manner," the official added.
Despite the framework agreement, Lebanon has reported intermittent Israeli strikes and artillery shelling on the south of the country in recent days.
