SHARE*     READ MORE > Ground Raids Israeli ground forces crossed into southern Lebanon on Sept. 30, in what may be the opening phase of an Israeli invasion. "In accordance with the decision of the political echelon, a few hours ago, the IDF began limited, localized, and targeted ground raids based on precise intelligence against Hezbollah terrorist targets and infrastructure in southern Lebanon," the Israel Defense Forces said in a press statement early on Oct. 1. The IDF said planning and training for the "methodical operation" has been ongoing for months. Dubbed Operation "Northern Arrows," the IDF said it's targeting Hezbollah targets close to Israel's northern border that "pose an immediate threat to Israeli communities in northern Israel."

The new restrictions prevent illegal immigrants from being able to request asylum whenever the Secretary of Homeland Security deems the southern border has become overwhelmed. The restriction will be lifted when the secretary "has made a factual determination that there have been 28 consecutive calendar days in which the 7-consecutive-calendar-day average of encounters is less than 1,500," the new order states. The administration is also now counting all children in that equation before previously only counting children from Mexico. The changes take effect on Oct. 1.
