  • On Friday, Israel's military reported that intense fighting in southern Lebanon killed four soldiers, with the remaining identities to be disclosed later.
  • Lebanon's National News Agency reported at least 16 people were killed in ongoing Israeli airstrikes as Israel maintains it must hold the territory to battle the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group.
  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron signed an initial pact with Iran at the Palace of Versailles, mandating an immediate halt to operations "on all fronts, including in Lebanon."
  • Vice President Vance postponed his trip to Switzerland on Thursday, while Al-Mayadeen reported that Iran is delaying its delegation to the talks following Israel's military campaign.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces elections later this year, refused to withdraw, asserting that forces will remain in Lebanon until the threat from Hezbollah has been eliminated.
