Israeli attacks killed at least two people in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, coming despite the renewed ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, which requires an end to Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon. On Wednesday, the U.S. hosted another round of talks between Israeli and Lebanese diplomats; once again, Hezbollah was not a party to the talks.

In Tel Aviv, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israeli troops would not withdraw from southern Lebanon.

Israel Katz: “The IDF is prepared, and we are not retreating. We announced that, in any case, we are not withdrawing. And as of this moment — this is a political achievement — there is no American demand for Israel to withdraw from Lebanon.”
