Israel launched a series of airstrikes in Lebanon's Nabatieh district Monday, marking the latest episode in the region's ongoing war . What Happened : The most recent strikes were in response to Hezbollah firing rockets near an Israeli watchtower, The Guardian reported. It was the first direct attack since a ceasefire went into effect Wednesday . The rockets were fired at the occupied Shebaa Farms on Monday night, according to The Guardian . The attack seemed more symbolic than destructive, at least at first. The rockets landed in an open area, killing at least two people, per Al Jazeera . Hezbollah described its move as an "initial warning defensive response" to Israel's alleged repeat offenses against the ceasefire agreement. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised a "strong" response after the alleged ceasefire breach on the part of Hezbollah , a militant group that has been in conflict with Israel since the early 1980s.

Trump said he met with Harold Daggett, the president of the International Longshoremen's Association , and Dennis Daggett, its executive vice president. "I've studied automation, and know just about everything there is to know about it. The amount of money saved is nowhere near the distress, hurt, and harm it causes for American Workers, in this case, our Longshoremen," the incoming president said on Truth Social . "Foreign companies have made a fortune in the U.S. by giving them access to our markets. They shouldn't be looking for every last penny knowing how many families are hurt," he continued. The union, which represents 45,000 workers, and the United States Maritime Alliance, which represents shipping companies, have until Jan. 15 to negotiate a new contract . A stalemate could result in a strike that would shut down ports and halt shipping as Trump enters the White House. One of the main sticking points in the discussions is the move to automation. The alliance responded to Trump, saying it shares the goal of "adding good-paying jobs at our ports." It went on to say "We need modern technology that is proven to improve worker safety, boost port efficiency, increase port capacity, and strengthen our supply chains. ILA members' compensation increases with the more goods they move – the greater capacity our ports have and goods that are moved means more money in their pockets." Union workers ended a three-day work stoppage at East and Gulf ports in October after reaching a "tentative agreement on wages and have agreed to extend the Master Contract until January 15, 2025." Trump painted the dispute as a conflict between American workers and foreign companies. "They've got record profits, and I'd rather these foreign companies spend it on the great men and women on our docks, than machinery, which is expensive, and which will constantly have to be replaced," he said. "In the end, there's no gain for them, and I hope that they will understand how important an issue this is for me," Trump said. "For the great privilege of accessing our markets, these foreign companies should hire our incredible American Workers, instead of laying them off, and sending those profits back to foreign countries. It is time to put AMERICA FIRST!," he said.
Miami enters the week still stunned after losing its fourth straight game. Next up, the Hurricanes will play host to Arkansas on Tuesday night in Coral Gables, Fla., as part of the ACC/SEC Challenge. Miami (3-4) lost on Saturday afternoon to Charleston Southern, a team that entered with a 1-7 record. Arkansas (5-2) is coming off a Thanksgiving loss to Illinois on a neutral floor in Kansas City, Mo. "We've got a lot to learn," said John Calipari, in his first season coaching Arkansas. "We really haven't scrimmaged because we haven't had 10 guys (due to injuries). "But this team is going to be fine." The same thing cannot confidently be said about the Hurricanes. Their first three defeats of the current skid were tough for Miami to take, losing to Drake, Oklahoma State and VCU on a neutral court as part of the Charleston Classic. But the loss to Charleston Southern -- which was a 25-point underdog -- has to be considered among the worst in Miami history. Hurricanes coach Jim Larranaga was without point guard Nijel Pack, who missed the contest due to a lower-body injury. Pack leads Miami in scoring (15.2) and assists (4.7). There are no reports on how long he will be out. With Pack unavailable, five-star freshman Jalil Bethea made his first college start. However, the 6-foot-5 shooting guard has not yet played up to his ranking. Bethea is averaging 6.3 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists. He is also shooting 30.0 percent on 3-pointers. Miami ranks 284th in the nation in rebounds and 259th in blocked shots. "We haven't been able to put together a solid defensive effort," Larranaga said following the loss to Charleston Southern. "Some of it has to do with fundamentals. Some of it has to do with athletic ability. Some of it has to do with size." Tuesday's game will match two veteran coaches: Larranaga, 75, and Calipari, 65. Calipari brought in seven transfers and five freshmen for his first season in Fayetteville. Two of those transfers -- 6-foot-8 wing Adou Thiero and 7-foot-2 center Zvonimir Ivisic -- were signed after leaving Kentucky, Calipari's previous stop. Thiero leads Arkansas in scoring (19.1), rebounds (5.9) and steals (2.9). Ivisic leads Arkansas in blocks (2.7) while ranking third in points (12.1). Freshman Boogie Fland, a McDonald's All-American, has made a quick transition to college ball. The 6-foot-2 point guard is second on the team in scoring (15.9) and steals (1.9) and first in assists (4.9). Among Arkansas' bench pieces are 6-foot-11 Tennessee transfer Jonas Aidoo and 6-foot-10 Arkansas holdover Trevon Brazile. Their combined 92 college starts illustrate Arkansas' depth. "The ceiling is there," Calipari said. "But we need to be the aggressors." --Field Level Media
