West Asia war LIVE: UAE says Iran targeted tanker as Oman cites progress in Hormuz talks

Israeli troops infiltrated a Lebanese village placed under the control of Lebanon’s army as part of a June agreement, building an earthen barrier there overnight, state media and the local mayor said.

An AFP correspondent saw the barrier, situated at the village’s eastern entrance and blocking the road. The local authorities said it was unclear if any Israeli forces remained in the area.

Israeli troops reportedly infiltrated a Lebanese village, erecting a barrier and violating a recent framework agreement, local sources say.

The UAE accused Iran of targeting a tanker belonging to its state-owned oil company in the Strait of Hormuz, even as both Iran and Oman suggested talks on administering the vital waterway were progressing.

Iran has imposed an effective blockade of the strait and wants to charge users for passage, repeatedly attacking ships it accuses of attempting to circumvent its preferred route.
