The Israeli army continued air strikes and artillery shelling on areas in south Lebanon, with drones flying at low altitude over Beirut and its suburbs, coinciding with Lebanese-Israeli technical military meetings in the United States to review the implementation of the "Framework Agreement". The talks addressed the verification mechanism and the Israeli withdrawal, while Lebanese officials stressed their rejection of making Lebanon a battlefield for others' wars.
The reports focused on different aspects of the event: some covered the military escalation and the details of the strikes and drones, while others linked the bombardment to the course of the military talks in the United States and cited the positions of Lebanese officials.
