GEOFF BENNETT: Also today, Israel's bombing campaign against Iran's ally Hezbollah continued inside Lebanon, further complicating prospects of a peace deal between the U.S.

and Tehran.

Israeli strikes hit the southern port city of Tyre, killing at least eight people and wounding dozens of others, according to Lebanese health officials.

The attacks come after Hezbollah forces fired on Northern Israel over the weekend.

The Israeli military also ordered the entire city to evacuate today, including its historic Christian district, which has so far been spared from the attack.

HUSSEIN DARWISH, Tyre, Lebanon, Resident (through translator): We left to be reassured and safe.

One cares about their family and dignity.

We don't know where we are going, but God's land is plenty.

GEOFF BENNETT: Israeli forces now effectively control about a fifth of Lebanon, the farthest advance since Israel's 18-year occupation of the country started in 1982.

In Kenya, the latest protests over a proposed Ebola quarantine center for Americans led to violent scenes today.

Police fired warning shots and tear gas in a bid to disperse the crowd near the site of the planned facility.

Reuters is reporting that one protester was shot and killed and at least 10 others detained.

U.S.

officials announced plans for the site last month, though it has been held up by Kenya's courts.

Meantime, health officials say at least 115 people are now confirmed to have died from Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which has been hardest hit by the outbreak.

Turning now to the World Cup, which kicks off on Thursday, Iran's Soccer Federation says FIFA has revoked its ticket allocation for fans to attend the team's three scheduled matches in the U.S., affecting several thousand seats.

While FIFA controls ticket distribution for the tournament, Iranian officials accused the U.S.

of preventing their supporters from attending, saying Washington has -- quote -- "taken steps to obstruct the presence of Iranian fans at the stadiums."

Separately, FIFA has removed a Somali referee from the tournament after he was denied entry to the U.S.

over the weekend.

Last year, the Trump administration imposed new travel restrictions on Somalia, complicating entry for its citizens.

NASA named three U.S.

astronauts and one Italian for its next space mission today, as the agency works to ward a moon landing as soon as 2028.

MAN: Let's give it one more round of applause for your Artemis III prime crew.

(CHEERING) GEOFF BENNETT: The Artemis III crew received a warm welcome at a press conference in Houston today.

NASA is looking to build on this year's successful Artemis II mission, which saw astronauts fly around the moon.

The members of that mission handed off a symbolic red baton to this crew, which is not heading to the moon.

Rather, they will orbit Earth and practice docking in a two-week mission set for next year.

NASA administrator Jared Isaacman wished them well.

JARED ISAACMAN, NASA Administrator: We wish you Godspeed on the journey ahead.

You carry the fire of exploration from generations past, the confidence of this agency and the support of this nation and the dreams of millions.

GEOFF BENNETT: Today's announcement comes less than two weeks after the fiery explosion of Blue Origin rocket on a launchpad in Florida.

The company is due to provide a lander as part of the Artemis III mission.
