What happened

Well supportedReported by 13 independent outlets

Israel carried out deadly strikes in south Lebanon, which Hezbollah maintained the right to respond to. These strikes occurred after the United States and Iran signed a preliminary agreement aimed at halting the Middle East war. As a result, follow-up talks scheduled in Switzerland to build on the agreement were indefinitely postponed.
