US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant agreed to dismantle Hezbollah’s attack infrastructure along Israel’s northern border. Both warned of "serious consequences" if Iran launched a direct military attack on Israel. Meanwhile, Israel continues targeted raids in southern Lebanon, striking Hezbollah positions. Explosions were reported in Beirut’s southern suburbs, while Israeli forces warned residents to evacuate. International leaders, including US President Joe Biden and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, urged a diplomatic solution. Lebanese officials reported 1,000 deaths and nearly 1 million displaced over the past two weeks.
