Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. The Israeli military says it carried out an airstrike in Lebanon today on the third day of what's supposed to be a ceasefire there. Both Israel and Hezbollah militants are accusing the other of violating the agreement. N PR's Lauren Frire reports so far the

violence has been sporadic and the truce for the most part appears to be holding.

The Israeli military published video of what it says is a Hezbollah rocket launcher being

blown up by Israeli warplanes. It says it's acting to enforce violations of

the ceasefire, but Lebanese officials accuse Israel of breaking it. Lebanese state media say

Israeli artillery also hit at least three villages, and that Israeli soldiers open fire on civilians

in at least one other. Israeli soldiers are still in Lebanon. They have

60 days to withdraw. They've imposed a curfew in a roughly 20-mile-wide swath of southern Lebanon

near the Israeli border, and they're urging civilians to stay out of other areas altogether,

where soldiers may still be operating. Lauren Freyer, NPR News, Beirut.

NPR's Giuliani Kim reports the FBI says an investigation is underway.

Among those targeted by bomb threats were Elise Stefaniic,

According to the FBI, some of Trump's nominees were also the target of swanning attacks, which is when someone makes a hoax call about a crime

occurring with the intention of drawing a massive law enforcement presence to a certain location.

It's a fear tactic that originated in the gaming community around 15 years ago.

Democratic members of Congress from Connecticut also reported receiving bomb threats against their homes on Thanksgiving.
