Overview
- The White House said Thursday it secured a three-week extension to the Israel–Lebanon cease-fire after talks with both sides and pledged to help Lebanon guard against Hezbollah.
- Hours after the extension, Hezbollah fired rockets and Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon killed at least six people Friday, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.
- The Israeli military said it killed six Hezbollah fighters and confirmed one of its drones was shot down during the renewed clashes.
- Trump says he expects Benjamin Netanyahu and Joseph Aoun to meet in Washington within weeks, even as Hezbollah-aligned lawmakers in Beirut urge the government to quit direct talks.
- US–Iran follow-up talks stalled Saturday as Trump canceled his envoys’ trip to Islamabad after Tehran said there would be no direct meeting.
