Israeli forces have increased their presence in southern Lebanon following the shooting down of three US F-15 jets in an apparent friendly fire incident. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton clashed with Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert over a leaked photo from her deposition, which is against House rules. The incident occurred shortly after a fire alarm led to the evacuation of a United Flight 2127 to Newark after a malfunctioning engine. The FBI is investigating a potential nexus to terrorism in the incident.
