Israeli forces launched airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon overnight, the military said, after rockets were fired toward northern Israel. The exchange comes as diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire remain stuck, according to officials involved in the talks.

Reuters reported that the strikes targeted sites linked to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. The Israeli military framed the operation as a response to cross-border fire, while mediators from the United States and France have struggled to move negotiations forward.

The renewed violence underscores the fragility of efforts to prevent a wider conflict along the Israel-Lebanon border. Civilians on both sides remain exposed to the risk of escalation as military and diplomatic tracks continue in parallel with little visible progress.

With ceasefire talks stalled, pressure is increasing on all parties to reduce attacks and limit further harm to civilians in the border region.
