The morning began with reports of a shattered ceasefire in Lebanon as the IDF launched extensive strikes in response to Hezbollah fire, resulting in dozens of Lebanese casualties. By midday, editorial focus shifted to Tehran as the Revolutionary Guard announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and threatened missile strikes against Israel, citing violations of the MOU. In the afternoon, under heavy US pressure and with nuclear talks looming in Switzerland, Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz ordered the IDF to once again hold its fire in Lebanon to allow the diplomatic track to proceed. Amidst these diplomatic shifts, outlets reported the deaths of two soldiers, Sgt. Maj. Yoav Klein and Staff Sgt. Nir Ben Ari, killed in separate incidents. The day concluded with US Vice President Vance arriving in Switzerland for technical talks, while President Trump threatened to impose tolls in the Hormuz Strait if a final deal is not reached within 60 days.
