cross-border barrage. israel and hezbollah militants in lebanon exchange attacks jolting a region already on edge for a wider war. the battle for campaign cash. kamala harris' campaign riding a wave of momentum following the democratic convention, while donald trump sharpens his attacks trying to blunt her rise. double trouble. two natural disasters. a hurricane wreaking havoc on hawaii and hikers trapped after flash flooding turns deadly in the grand canyon. good morning, and good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. we start with the middle east where nerves are frayed after a dramatic but contained escalation that stopped short of an all-out war. israel and the powerful hezbollah terror group in lebanon both declaring victory after exchanging their heaviest strikes since the war in gaza began. israel says it fired first to stop a major attack.

this as the latest round of cease-fires and hostage talks between israel and hamas ended without a deal. cbs' carissa lawson is following all the developments for us. good morning. >> reporter: and there are a lot. there have been almost daily exchanges of fire across the israel-lebanon border since the war in gaza started between israel and hamas in october, but this latest exchange was the worst and most dramatic so far, raising global concerns that the war could explode across the middle east region, an ominous thought. high-level negotiations in cairo toward a cease-fire and hostage exchange between israel and hamas failed to produce a breakthrough over the weekend. the lower-level talks are expected to continue. it comes after israel and iran-backed hezbollah fighters in lebanon on sunday had their biggest exchange of fire since conflict broke out in the region ten months ago, briefly raising fears of an all-out war. >> it is incumbent on all

parties in the region to work toward deescalation and stability. >> reporter: israel says it launched a preemptive strike using around 100 military planes that destroyed thousands of hezbollah rocket launchers in lebanon. >> we carried the real-time operation in order to degrade those capabilities that were about to be launched to israel. we were successful. >> reporter: hours later israel said it intercepted hundreds of rockets and drones launched by hezbollah. the militant group says it's -- its counterattack was in retaliation for the recent assassination of one of its founders. things appear to have calmed down for now with both sides claiming victory after hitting what they claimed were military targets. though israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu said this was, quote, not the end of the story. white house officials say president joe biden has been monitoring the middle east situation, and on sunday the pentagon said that defense secretary lloyd austin ordered two u.s. aircraft carriers to

remain in the region for deterrence. three deaths were confirmed in lebanon, and israel says one member of its navy was killed and two others injured after debris from an interceptor hit a navy vessel. since both sides are claiming victory, it is a signal of their desire to stop short of an all-out war for now. carissa lawson, cbs news. >> let's hope so. thank you very much. coming up on "cbs mornings," former national security adviser and cbs news contributor h.r. mcmaster joins us to talk about the growing tensions in the middle east and if he thinks the u.s. could become directly involved in the conflict. and now to the race for the white house. the harris and trump campaigns, they are gearing up for some grassroots outreach. cbs' skyler henry is tracking all of that from washington.

sarcastically. what's important is that we focus on the policy. >> reporter: this week trump heads back to michigan twice while making a stop in pennsylvania on friday. harris is planning on another bus tour. this time across the state of georgia. skyler henry, cbs news, the white house. hurricane hone lashed parts of hawaii with torrential rain and damaging winds. the storm passed just south of hawaii yesterday triggering flash floods and causing some roads to close. hone had top winds of 85 mile-per-hour as it swirled slowly past the big island. while hurricane hone begins to move west of hawaii, behind it is hurricane gilma, expected to pass north of hawaii later this week. the body of an arizona woman who went missing after a flash flood at grand canyon national park has been recovered. chenoa nickerson was hiking along havasu creek when the flood hit thursday trapping tourists around beaver falls.
