Two Israeli airstrikes hit the Dahieh district in Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold, following an evacuation warning issued by the IDF to residents in the area, Lebanese media reported Sunday evening.
Saudi-owned Al-Hadath TV quoted Israeli political sources as saying there is a “window of opportunity” to reach a cease-fire in Lebanon by Thursday.
The sources noted that the IDF has renewed its support for a cease-fire in Lebanon, with plans to shift forces to Gaza and the West Bank.
The unprecedented Hezbollah attacks earlier Sunday were described as part of a “final showdown,” with Israeli sources warning of an imminent escalation along the Lebanese front in the coming hours.
Hamas wants a comprehensive deal to end the war in Gaza and swap all Israeli hostages for Palestinians jailed in Israel, a senior official from the Palestinian militant group said, rejecting Israel's offer of an interim truce.
In a meeting held Thursday in Moscow, Qatar’s Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, blamed Israel for failing to uphold a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, originally brokered in January by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States.
Israeli troops will remain in the buffer zones they have created in Gaza even after any settlement to end the war, Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday, as efforts to revive a ceasefire agreement faltered.
