Israel Hezbollah

A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah began at 16:00 local time (13:00 UTC) after a night of intense fighting that killed four IDF soldiers and wounded five others in southern Lebanon. The IDF struck over 150 Hezbollah targets in response, while the US conveyed to Iran that Israel would not escalate further. The US-Iran memorandum of understanding faces new strain as Iran canceled participation in Switzerland talks, and the Hormuz Strait remains closed.
