Israeli forces captured the historic Beaufort castle in southern Lebanon, according to reports citing Israeli military statements. The development prompted France’s President Macron to call an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. The UN is scheduled to meet on Lebanon following the capture.
Cross-border exchanges between Hezbollah and Israel have continued, with Hezbollah firing rockets into northern Israel and Israel conducting strikes, including in Beirut.
The United States proposed a clear sequence to advance talks: Hezbollah must stop all attacks on Israel first. A U.S. official told ABC News that under the proposal Israel would then refrain from escalation in Beirut. The official said the plan is intended to reduce immediate risks in the Lebanese capital.
Officials have not released additional conditions or a timeline for implementation. No other parties have commented publicly on the U.S. proposal in the available reporting.
