| 0:00.0 | Hi from CNN. This is Madeline Thompson with five things you need to know for Monday, December 2nd. |
| 0:07.0 | The Israeli military says it's striking terror targets in Lebanon after Hezbollah fired two projectiles toward Israeli-occupied territory today. |
| 0:17.0 | Hezbollah said it was in response to repeated Israeli strikes in Lebanon since a ceasefire agreement went into effect last week. |
| 0:24.6 | CNN's Clarissa award is in Beirut. |
| 0:26.6 | Broadly speaking, the ceasefire has been holding, but there have been violations and they have been regular. |
