Seven Killed in Israeli Strikes on Lebanon Amid Ceasefire Reports

Seven individuals lost their lives in Israeli airstrikes that struck southern and eastern parts of Lebanon, the country's Ministry of Health reported. These strikes followed closely on the heels of an apparent agreement between Israel and the Shiite militia Hezbollah on a ceasefire.

The situation remains tense, with sources indicating that an emergency meeting focused on the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is scheduled. This meeting is expected to take place during upcoming talks between the United States and Iran in Switzerland. The planned negotiations had previously been abruptly canceled but are now set to resume.

Diplomatic sources have informed CBS that the conflict between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah has been placed as the first item on the agenda for the US-Iran discussions. Israel has been conducting attacks on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon for months, with Iran demanding an end to these strikes. The report also notes that Iran had previously announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks.
