A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, brokered by the United States and Qatar, was reportedly violated shortly after taking effect. A drone strike in southern Lebanon killed two people after the truce began. Prior to the ceasefire, an Israeli attack in the same region had killed at least 47 people and injured numerous others.

The Israeli military confirmed that four of its soldiers, including one officer, were killed in the preceding day’s fighting. The escalation is cited as the reason for a stalemate in US-Iran negotiations being held in Switzerland.
