    You know, I’m starting to think these peace talks weren’t as close to being complete as I’ve been led to believe

    >Lebanon’s health ministry said Israeli strikes in recent hours had killed 31 people and wounded ​40, state news agency NNA reported early on Wednesday.. It said 14 people were killed in the town of Burj ⁠al-Shamali in southern Lebanon, including two children and three women.

    >Some strikes hit near the Beaufort Castle, a nearly 900-year-old fortress in southern Lebanon that ​UNESCO has described as one of the best-preserved examples of medieval castles in the region. At least three strikes also hit near Lebanon’s largest water reservoir ​at the Qaraoun Dam in east Lebanon, Lebanon’s National News Agency said.

    >Two sources said on Tuesday that the Israeli military had expanded its ground operations in southern Lebanon ​past the security zone but gave no further details on the extent of the advance beyond the so-called Yellow Line.
    That line, separate from the U.N.-demarcated “Blue Line” marking the frontier ‌between Lebanon ⁠and Israel after Israel’s withdrawal in 2000, forms part of a proposed buffer zone extending 5 km to 10 km (3 miles to 6 miles) into southern Lebanon. Israel’s military had ordered residents not to return to dozens of villages in the zone, and its troops have been destroying homes in the area.

    >Hezbollah said ​on Tuesday it had targeted Israeli forces and tanks advancing toward the southern Lebanese town of Zawtar al-Sharqiya ​with explosive drones, rockets ⁠and artillery. Lebanon’s health ministry says the cumulative toll from the Israeli offensive since March 2, when Hezbollah fired projectiles into Israel in response to the start of the Iran war, had reached 3,213 dead and 9,737 wounded as of May 26.
