- Eight killed in multiple drone strikes on Tuesday, including a dentist and his two children. - Israel threatened to strike Beirut's southern suburbs if Hezbollah attacks continue.

- Second round of ceasefire talks between Israel and Lebanon begins in Washington. - Conflict has killed 3,433 in Lebanon and displaced over 1 million people.
