Two Israeli soldiers were killed and four wounded in southern Lebanon following an explosion in Majdal Zoun, marking the first Israeli fatalities since a fragile ceasefire began in early June. The Israeli military subsequently called for the evacuation of the village of Mansouri, followed by Israeli airstrikes in response to alleged Hezbollah ceasefire violations. These strikes resulted in one Lebanese death and twelve injuries according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health. Concurrent with the violence, negotiations in Rome between Lebanese and Israeli negotiators regarding a potential agreement – including Israeli withdrawal from occupied southern Lebanon in exchange for Hezbollah disarmament – were abruptly terminated. Disagreements over the reason for the halt emerged, with the US citing "events" in Lebanon and Israel accusing the Lebanese delegation of leaking misinformation. Hezbollah, not involved in the talks, maintains its refusal to disarm, pointing to continued Israeli occupation and the weakness of the Lebanese army.
