At least six people were killed Tuesday and 3 others wounded in strikes on south Lebanon.

A strike on a home in Kfarsir killed four people and wounded two, while a separate strike targeting a car in Harouf killed one person and wounded another.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he would "hold off" an attack on Iran scheduled for Tuesday at the request of Gulf leaders.

Trump said on his Truth Social network on Monday that "serious negotiations" were now underway with Iran and that Gulf states believed "a deal will be made."

U.S. President Trump on Monday said that he is “not open” to any concessions for Tehran after receiving the latest Iranian response on peace deal talks.

A security agreement that is in the works will include "timetables for disarming all illegal militias, starting with Hezbollah and extending to the smallest Palestinian faction," a Lebanese government source said.

Druze leader Walid Jumblat on Monday described the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel as an "illusion."

Israeli strikes targeted Monday Tebnine, Dweir, Mayfadoun, Majdal Selem, Qana, Deir Ntar, Siddiqine, Maarakeh, Hanaway, Harouf, Kfar Remman, Zawtar, Deir Ames and Deir al-Zahrani in south Lebanon, after a midnight strike on an apartment in Baalbek killed an Islamic Jihad commander and his 17-year-old daughter and wounded two other people.

One person was killed in the strike on a house in Maarakeh, and eight others were wounded.

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened Iran over its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, posting an AI-generated picture on his Truth Social platform with Iranian-flagged naval vessels warning, "It Was The Calm Before the Storm."

Trump also warned in comments that Iran should make a deal with the U.S., saying, "if they don't, they're going to have a bad time. A very bad time."

Lebanon is conducting intensive contacts in coordination with the U.S. with the aim of reaching a comprehensive ceasefire with Israel, sources told Sky News Arabia.

Speaker Nabih Berri has told President Joseph Aoun in a phone call that Hezbollah would fully commit to a ceasefire if the Lebanese delegation managed to clench a ceasefire commitment from the Israeli side, MTV reported on Friday afternoon, shortly before the start of the second day of Lebanese-Israeli talks in Washington.

Druze leader Walid Jumblat has said that he does not fear a new civil war in Lebanon because such a war "requires two armed sides, and currently only Hezbollah possesses weapons."
