Israel-Hezbollah security talks commence in Washington

  • Israeli and Lebanese military officials arrived in Washington today for the first security talks since April.

  • Intensified Israeli airstrikes targeted Beirut suburbs and southern Lebanon just hours before the meetings.

  • The Lebanese Health Ministry claims 14 people were killed in recent strikes, including several militants.

  • Israel’s stated goal for the discussions is the total disarmament of Hezbollah forces along the northern border.

  • Iran is reportedly pushing Lebanon to make Israeli airstrikes a “red line” for any lasting peace deal.

  • One Israeli soldier was confirmed killed in clashes earlier this Thursday near the border zone.
