Stunning: Far-right lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella took 44% of the vote to 41% for Ivan Cepeda, a far-left candidate supported by President Petro. Polls had shown that Cepeda, son of a slain Marxist senator, would comfortably beat de la Espriella. https://t.co/gi6ZhrGUqQ @WSJ

Hezbollah’s drones are now the leading cause of Israeli battlefield deaths in Lebanon, responsible for 7 of the 11 soldiers killed since April. The group has improved its tactics and taken advantage of poor Israeli defenses such as troop/vehicle clustering and improper netting.

New @WSJ scoop by @jmalsin and Anat Peled: Israel built a clandestine base in Iraq's desert to support its Iran campaign — then struck Iraqi troops who nearly found it, killing one. Why this is Israeli paramountcy in action 🧵
