Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter on Tuesday lamented that Hezbollah feels emboldened after the latest developments and ceasefire.

President Joseph Aoun received a phone call Tuesday afternoon from U.S. Vice President JD Vance and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during which they discussed the latest developments related to the situation in Lebanon and the period following the Switzerland meetings, the Presidency said.

The Israeli military said Tuesday its forces opened fire on four alleged Hezbollah militants who entered the so-called "security zone" it has established in southern Lebanon, the second such incident within hours.

The army said the militants entered the zone on a bulldozer and a motorcycle and that the soldiers initially fired warning shots as they approached troops deployed there.

President Joseph Aoun on Tuesday rejected Israeli occupation as well as any foreign interference in the country's affairs.

President Joseph Aoun received Tuesday a phone call from French President Emmanuel Macron, during which they discussed the general situation in Lebanon and the region in light of the results of the U.S.-Iranian negotiations held in Switzerland.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance has told Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea that the U.S.' talks with Iran regarding Lebanon do not aim to give Tehran any role in determining Lebanon's future or influencing its decisions, but to ensure that Iran pressures Hezbollah to abide by its commitments and obligations.

Geagea said Tuesday that Vance's letter was a response to his appeal to the Vice President to support the Lebanese state and separate the Lebanese negotiations from the U.S.-Iran talks.

Hezbollah decried what it called a "blatant violation" of the ceasefire in Lebanon on Tuesday, after state media there reported two people killed by Israeli gunfire in the country's south.

"The Islamic Resistance warns that what the enemy has committed constitutes a blatant violation of the ceasefire, which the Resistance has adhered to up to this point," the group said in a statement.

The Israeli military said Tuesday its soldiers struck a "cell of armed terrorists" in southern Lebanon, the first fighting it has reported since Saturday evening.

"A short while ago, the IDF identified a cell of armed terrorists operating in close proximity to IDF soldiers in the security zone in the Ali al-Taher Ridge area," the military said.

Iran's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Ali Bahreini, affirmed Tuesday that the resumption of negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program is contingent upon the implementation of five points outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and the role of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Israeli machinegun fire killed two people and wounded a third on Tuesday in southern Lebanon, state media reported, despite a reduction in hostilities there following the declaration of a new ceasefire.

Two young men were killed and a third was injured when Israeli forces opened machine-gun fire toward them in Nabatieh al-Fawqa, the National News Agency reported. The victims were standing near an excavator and an Islamic Health Commity team that was working to clear roads and retrieve bodies in the Deir neighborhood.
