The day opened with reports of an Israeli airstrike on Beirut's southern suburb, killing a Hezbollah Radwan Force commander—the first such strike since the ceasefire. Netanyahu confirmed ordering the attack. Earlier, the Maronite Patriarchs issued a high-ceiling statement rejecting negotiations with Hezbollah and blaming it for producing occupation. US Secretary Rubio said peace is achievable and the problem is Hezbollah, not Israel or Lebanon. Meanwhile, Trump suspended 'Project Freedom' in Hormuz after progress with Iran, but later threatened 'higher level' bombing if Iran does not agree to a proposed deal. Iran said the US proposal is 'under review'. The third round of Lebanon-Israel talks was scheduled for next week, with PM Salam calling a meeting with Netanyahu premature.
