Israel and Lebanon Hold Nine-Hour Pentagon Military Talks as Strikes Kill 11
On May 30, 2026, military delegations from Israel and Lebanon concluded nine hours of direct talks at the Pentagon, mediated by U.S. officials. Despite 'productive' discussions on a security track, the talks ended without a ceasefire breakthrough as Israel refused to withdraw from occupied Lebanese territory. Simultaneously, Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon's Tyre district killed 11 people, including a paramedic, while Hezbollah launched rocket barrages at Israeli gathering points near the border.
