Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is urging the Trump administration to carry out another wave of strikes on Iran, officials told The Associated Press.

Iran said Monday it had a two-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks with the United States. Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels accused Saudi Arabia of striking a shipping port.

Israel’s military said it was wrapping up a sweeping operation after a shooting in Hebron killed two soldiers.

Here is the latest news from the Middle East on Monday. Read our full coverage here.

JERUSALEM (AP) — The Middle East is bracing for a possible return to all-out war amid concerns that the United States and Israel could strike Iran shortly after Tuesday's U.S. midterm elections.

A regional official briefed on the talks said an Iranian delegation left Qatar on Sunday after negotiations aimed at reaching a deal to end the war. A draft proposal has been circulated for feedback, and a follow-up meeting is under discussion. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks.

Iran has expanded its threats but says it is awaiting the latest U.S. response. The latest proposal Iran has publicly discussed would fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping within two days if Washington meets several conditions, including lifting its blockade of Iranian ports.

Here's where things currently stand.

Hull, England - For 28 years and one day, Karl Bushby took the long way home on an epic odyssey of human endurance back to northern England.

His adventure was made even more difficult - physically and mentally - with his two self-imposed guiding rules: he could not advance his journey with the help of any machine and he could not return home during the entire time, even if family or friends died.

It was also hardly a direct route. His journey was delayed at various times for months, if not years, by illness, visa restrictions in Russia, Moscow's invasion of Ukraine and having to swim massive bodies of water. His life was also threatened by armed gangs in the lawless Darien Gap in Central America, jail in Panama and a polar bear in Siberia.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that his country retaliated against Russia by hacking its emergency alert system.

"We only respond on their attacks," Zelenskyy said in an interview with PBS News' Amna Nawaz.

The cyberattack, the Ukrainian leader said, was a response to Russia seemingly hacking Ukraine's emergency alert system, which notifies residents of imminent threats.

"They attacked our system," he said. "It was a cyberattack."

Supermarkets across Europe have been targeted in cyberattacks once again. Three weeks after a defrosting attack in France, supermarkets in Belgium, Estonia, Ireland, Luxembourg and Sweden reported freezer malfunctions.

Supermarkets in Belgium, Estonia, Ireland, Luxembourg and Sweden reported anomalies in their freezer systems on Monday in an apparent cyberattack similar to one in France three weeks ago in which unidentified malign actors were accused of having hijacked refrigeration systems — setting them to defrost and spoiling fresh and frozen foods.

In Monday's incident, Swedish supermarket chains ICA and Coop said "a limited number" of shops had been hit, with ICA spokeswoman Helena Johansson saying the company is "looking into what has happened and the scale of it."

"Fridges and freezers have either stopped working entirely or have been partially impaired," Coop spokesman Carlos Cancino told the French AFP news agency. He noted that six of roughly 800 Coop stores in Sweden had been impacted, adding, "I haven't received any information that this is a cyberattack."

Russian strikes on a school used as a humanitarian aid distribution center in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, killed at least 26 people, including two rescue workers and four police officers, on Nov. 2, Ukraine's State Emergency Service (DSNS) reported.

Five others were injured, including two rescue workers, according to DSNS.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian forces launched several aerial bomb attacks on the settlement throughout the morning, initially striking a school where humanitarian aid was regularly distributed to local residents.

Following the initial strike, Russian forces dropped another nine aerial bombs on a shelter where people were taking refuge, Zelensky said.

He called it an "exceptionally horrific strike," saying it was proof Russia did not want to de-escalate the situation.

The display puts violent imagery at the center of an already volatile Iran-U.S. confrontation. It also highlights the gap between Tehran’s public messaging and officials’ stated interest in avoiding a renewed war.

A billboard reading “We will kill Trump” appeared in Tehran on Tuesday, targeting U.S. President Donald Trump in an anti-American message displayed at Enghelab Square. The threatening Trump billboard crops up as Iran and the United States are still discussing a possible settlement, making the latest public display a sharp test of whether hostile rhetoric and diplomacy can coexist.

Reports describe the billboard as showing Trump behind bars with his head bowed. Its appearance follows months of anti-U.S. imagery across Tehran and comes amid reports of limited U.S. defense strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route at the center of the broader confrontation.

What appeared in Enghelab Square
Forbes and L’Orient Today reported that the large billboard in central Tehran carried the English-language phrase “We will kill Trump.” The reported design depicted Trump as a prisoner, while nearby displays reportedly targeted Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The language is plainly threatening. But the available reporting does not establish who specifically commissioned the billboard, whether it reflects a formal Iranian government position, or whether it was paired with a new operational threat against Trump or other U.S. officials.

Iran is talking tough again. That's nothing new. On Tuesday, as Americans headed to the polls, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that any American "miscalculation" would be met with an unpredictable military response not bound by geography.

Fox News paired that warning with President Trump's own statement, delivered on "Fox & Friends" the same morning.

Iran's forces, the president said, have been "decapitated." Every ship is on the seabed.

All 288 of their airplanes are lying in pieces on the runways.

Both men are selling their own version of events as they unfold.

The Speaker's Threat Is Aimed At Two Audiences
Ghalibaf isn't just a parliament speaker.

He's Tehran's chief negotiator with Washington, and he made it clear that Iran had already answered the latest proposal and that the next move belongs to the United States.

His language mirrors Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who on Saturday ordered the armed forces to meet any threat with an "immediate, impactful, and geographically unrestricted response."
