Israel conducted strikes in southern Lebanon, including a drone attack in Tibnin that killed one person and injured 11, according to Lebanon's health ministry. The Israeli military stated the strikes were a response to a Hezbollah ceasefire violation and followed an evacuation warning issued to the village of Mansouri, the first such warning in over a month. The escalation occurred as Lebanese and Israeli negotiators met in Rome for U.S.-facilitated peace talks, with Lebanon conditioning its participation on Israeli withdrawal from occupied southern territories. The fighting erupted two days after the Iran war began when Hezbollah fired at Israel, and a shaky ceasefire had largely held since June 20. U.S. President Donald Trump also stated that a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could come as early as Wednesday, potentially easing pressure on the global economy and the ongoing war.
