In our news wrap Sunday, Israel hit northern Gaza and southern Lebanon with more deadly airstrikes, U.S. officials are investigating a leak of intelligence documents describing Israel’s plans for a strike on Iran, Trump campaigned in Pennsylvania while Harris visited Georgia, and seven people died in a dock gangway collapse over the waters of Georgia’s historic Sapelo Island.
John Yang:
Good evening. I’m John Yang. There have been more deadly Israeli airstrikes today on both of its battle fronts. In Northern Gaza, 100 people were dead or missing in overnight bombardments, and in Beit Lahia, another 40 people were wounded. Israel said it was targeting Hamas militants who are regrouping, and the Lebanese army is blaming an Israeli air strike on a vehicle for the death of three of its soldiers. The country’s army hasn’t been able to either deal with Hezbollah or repel an Israeli invasion.
American officials are investigating the major disclosure of intelligence documents describing Israel’s preparation for a strike in Iran. The top secret analysis of information collected by U.S. spy satellites was posted on the messaging app Telegram. It’s not clear whether it was a leak or the result of a hack.
Former President Donald Trump says he’s told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to do what you have to do.
Donald Trump, U.S. Former President:
I congratulated him on obviously doing a very good job keeping Israel safe. He’s doing very well. He posed me on occasion, I think he wants my views on things. He’s had very little cooperation from the White House, as you know, they don’t — they didn’t want him to do anything, and they would not be in the good position they’re in right now.
John Yang:
With 16 days to go in the campaign. Trump was in Pennsylvania today, stopping at a McDonald’s north of Philadelphia. Vice President Harris spent the day in Georgia at a church service this morning, she warned against another Trump term.
Kamala Harris, U.S. Vice President:
Do we have leaders in place who understand that in the face of a stranger, one should see a name. In this moment across our nation what we do see are some who try to deepen division among us, spread hate, sow fear and cause chaos.
John Yang:
Last night in a rambling and often vulgar speech at a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, which had been billed as a preview of his campaign’s closing argument, Trump used a profanity to describe Kamala Harris and referred to the late golfer Arnold Palmer’s genitalia.
In Georgia, investigators are trying to figure out why a three-year-old ferry dock gangway collapsed Saturday night, killing seven people. Officials say about 40 people were on the gangway when a catastrophic failure sent half of them into the water. It was on Sapelo Island, where a celebration of a community of slave descendants was being held.
