India, Aug. 19 -- The regional tensions remained high on Wednesday as Israeli forces carried out fresh attacks across southern Lebanon, including strikes around the strategically important Ali al-Taher Hill in the Nabatieh area. The latest attacks add to a growing pattern of Israeli military action in southern Lebanon despite the framework aimed at reducing hostilities.

At the same time, Washington intensified pressure on Tehran on the cyber front. The US Justice Department charged 17 Iranian nationals over an alleged years-long cybertheft campaign that prosecutors say targeted universities, companies and government agencies in the US and other countries.
