The Bank of England has forecast Rachel Reeves’s first budget as chancellor will increase inflation by up to half a percentage point over the next two years, contributing to a slower decline in interest rates than previously thought. Announcing a widely anticipated 0.25 percentage point cut in the base rate to 4.75%, the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) forecast that inflation will return “sustainably” to its target of 2% in the first half of 2027, a year later than at its last meeting. “Since the MPC’s previous meeting, the market-implied path for the Bank rate in the United Kingdom has shifted up materially,” the MPC said in its minutes. |

An Israeli airstrike on Thursday killed three people and injured a number of UN peacekeepers and Lebanese army soldiers in the vicinity, Lebanese authorities said as Israel pounded Hezbollah targets and the terror group launched dozens of rockets into Israel. The Lebanese army said three of its troops and four Malaysian UN peacekeepers were hurt in an Israeli strike near an army checkpoint in the southern city of Sidon. “The Israeli enemy targeted a car while it was passing through the Awali checkpoint in Sidon, which led to the killing of three citizens who were inside it, in addition to the injury of three soldiers manning the checkpoint and four members of the Malaysian” contingent in the UNIFIL peacekeeping force, the Lebanese army said in a statement. Lebanese authorities do not distinguish between civilians and combatants in their reports of casualties in the fighting and did not identify the three occupants of the car. There was no comment on the incident from the IDF. |

| New squadron of US F-15 fighter jets arrives in region ahead of expected Iran attack |
 |
|
The United States appears to be reinforcing its presence in the Middle East ahead of an expected Iranian attack on Israel, with the American military confirming Thursday that F-15 fighter planes have arrived in the region. “Today, US Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles from the 492nd Fighter Squadron, RAF Lakenheath, England, arrive in the US Central Command area of responsibility,” the military command responsible for the Middle East said on social media. The aircraft join the B-52 Stratofortress bombers, tanker aircraft and Navy destroyers that US Defense Lloyd Austin ordered to deploy to the Middle East earlier this week, as well as the advanced THAAD, or the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, system to that the US rushed to Israel last month. The anti-missile system is a critical part of the US military’s layered air defense systems and adds to Israel’s already formidable anti-missile defenses amid indications of an imminent Iranian response to Israel’s recent retaliatory strike. According to two Israeli sources cited in Axios, Israeli intelligence has indicated Iran would launch its attack as soon as this week from Iraq, where the Islamic Republic sustains militias that are part of its “Axis of Resistance” against Israel. |
