Beirut CNN —Israel says it has launched a strike in Beirut, Lebanon, targeting a Hezbollah commander that it blamed for a deadly attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. An Israeli official identified the target of the strike as Fu’ad Shukr, also known as al-Hajj Mohsin. Israel wanted to send “a very strong message” with tonight’s strike, according to a senior Israeli official, but hopes to avoid further escalation. Hezbollah denied responsibility for the strike but did say it had fired at Israeli military targets in the area. Tuesday’s attack is of a different caliber, marking the largest Israeli escalation with the powerful Lebanese militant group since October 8.

The recent dip in Charles Schwab shares provides a promising entry point for investors, according to Deutsche Bank. While this news likely rekindled worries about Schwab's client cash sorting, liquidity and capital levels, Deutsche analyst Brian Bedell thinks these concerns are "overblown." He said it does not see any significant changes to Schwab's client cash withdrawal behavior, the company's earnings profile, liquidity position or capital levels. The analyst added expects client cash levels to modestly grow in 2024 and pick up in 2025. As of now, attrition levels are tracking approximately in-line with initial expectations, Bedell said.
