Lebanon

Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel may act again against Iran to complete the campaign’s objectives. He also sent a tough message to Hezbollah about the fighting in Lebanon and the drone threat: "The homes in the first line of villages used for terror activity are being destroyed at this very moment."

In an unprecedented move, Lebanon has formally complained to the UN Security Council regarding Iranian interference. Meanwhile, Israeli and Lebanese delegations are meeting in the U.S. today for a critical new round of talks.

Egoz and Golani Reconnaissance forces crossed the Litani with armored vehicles, fought Hezbollah terrorists at close range and signaled Israel’s control deep in Lebanon

Two Hezbollah operatives who entered a building near IDF forces in southern Lebanon were killed. Two Hezbollah explosive drones hit unmanned IDF engineering vehicles.

Lebanon signals progress as it readies for a two-day round in Washington. Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said: "We are not going in the direction of normalization, but toward peace. Lebanon launched the Arab Peace Initiative."

A local TV channel aired a satirical segment likening the fighting to Angry Birds—casting Hezbollah as birds and the IDF as pigs—prompting a furious response from the group and a demand by Lebanon's attorney general to remove the content.

A Reuters report cites internal Hezbollah sources who say the real death toll is far higher than the Health Ministry’s figure, even as battles rage and the group seeks leverage over Iran–U.S. talks.

Tehran lays out a three-stage plan: mutual U.S.–Iran non-aggression that also covers Iran’s allies and Israel, an international mechanism to prevent renewed fighting, a 15-year pause on enrichment followed by a 3.6% cap under zero stockpiling, and region-wide security talks—while refusing to dismantle nuclear infrastructure or destroy facilities.

Tehran sent Washington a 14-point proposal to end the war, demanding security guarantees, a U.S. troop pullback from neighboring states, an end to the naval blockade, the release of frozen assets, compensation, lifting sanctions, a new mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz, and a halt to fighting on all fronts, including Lebanon. The U.S. floated a two-month cease-fire; Iran pushed to resolve the issues within 30 days. Trump said he’ll review the plan but cast doubt and raised the option of renewed strikes.

The IDF says an explosive drone hit the Shomera sector this morning, wounding 12 soldiers—two moderately and ten lightly. Troops from the IDF’s ultra-Orthodox Hashmonaim Brigade helped evacuate the wounded. Several other soldiers were treated for anxiety and ear ringing. Around midday, interceptors launched near the Lebanon border and the IDF began hitting Hezbollah infrastructure; a launcher was destroyed in the Mount Dov area.

Arab media say Hezbollah, frustrated after failing to slow IDF operations, is threatening a return to 1980s-style tactics and may deploy suicide bombers against Israeli troops.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended the Pentagon’s budget, saying Iran and Lebanon are holding their positions as the U.S. keeps pressure on Tehran.

Amid IDF operations in southern Lebanon, a contractor performing Defense Ministry engineering work was killed by an explosive UAV.

After Hezbollah labeled his government “traitors” over efforts to engage Israel, Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun said he is working to end the war without a “humiliating” deal.

Tehran’s proposal, relayed through mediators, conditions renewed talks on full U.S. acceptance of its framework. It prioritizes reopening the Strait of Hormuz and a ceasefire, while deferring nuclear negotiations to a later stage.

At the IDF Senior Command Conference, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is striking within the security zone and north of the Litani, maintaining freedom of action under agreements with the U.S. and Lebanon. He warned that two key Hezbollah threats remain.

At Segula Military Cemetery in Petah Tikva, Sgt. Idan Fox, 19, was laid to rest after falling in combat in Lebanon. His mother, Meital, recalled being summoned to a “work meeting” at the council offices, where she received the devastating news.

Sgt. Idan Fox, 19, from Petah Tikva, a fighter in Battalion 77 of the 'Sa'ar MeGolan' formation, was killed by an explosive UAV in fighting in southern Lebanon. An officer and three soldiers were seriously wounded, one was moderately wounded, and another was lightly wounded.

At Sunday’s cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned a murder in Petah Tikva, denounced the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, and addressed the northern front, saying the IDF is operating in Lebanon "with force" and that Hezbollah’s violations are eroding the cease-fire.

Today in Washington, the Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors meet with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Lebanon demands that the IDF stop demolishing buildings in southern Lebanon. A Lebanese official: "This is a condition for continuing the talks"
