News Wrap: Israel hits Beirut with deadly strike targeting a Hezbollah leader

Ali Rogin:

In tonight's other headlines, Israel carried out an airstrike in Lebanon's capital city today. Nearly one year to the day, the country agreed to a ceasefire with Hezbollah. The strike killed at least five people and wounded dozens of others. Israel said the target of the strike was a key Hezbollah military leader considered the terror group's chief of staff. An Israeli government spokesperson declined to say whether officials informed the U.S. ahead of the strike.

The U.S. helped broker that cease fire deal last November. Since that time, Israel has alleged Hezbollah is trying to rebuild and rearm.

In northern Nigeria, 50 of the 303 children kidnapped from a Catholic school on Friday have escape and reunited with their families. They were taken by armed gunmen from a remote community in one of the worst mass abductions the country has seen.

Cyril Ramaphosa, South African President:

We shall see each other again next year. The summit is therefore closed.

Ali Rogin:

Traditionally, there is a handoff of the gavel to next year's host nation, which is the United States. However, President Trump refused to attend the summit, accusing South Africa's black majority government of persecuting its white minority citizens, while the lack of U.S. participation overshadowed the event, leaders who attended formally pledged to help poorer nations recover after climate related disasters and agreed to aid in their transition to green energy.

Two east coast rivals turned out strong defense in the battle for the National Women's Soccer League Championship. Gotham Football Club of New York took on the Washington Spirit late Saturday in a nail biter. The match was scoreless until the 80th minute. That's when defender Bruninia crossed the ball to veteran midfielder Rose Lavelle, who put it away past the outstretched arms of the goalkeeper. It was a sweet victory for Gotham, who secured its second title in three years.
