Amos Hochstein, the U.S. envoy, reported substantial progress in ceasefire discussions with Lebanese officials amid a backdrop of ongoing violence, including deadly Israeli airstrikes on Lebanese military targets. The proposed ceasefire may involve withdrawals from both Israeli and Hezbollah forces, with plans for increased Lebanese and U.N. peacekeepers in a designated buffer zone. The situation remains precarious, as recent airstrikes have intensified casualties and the humanitarian crisis continues to affect both Gaza and Lebanon.
