Southern Lebanon Operations

Prime Minister Netanyahu met with President Trump at the White House amid a third day of US-Iran strike pause, with Trump signaling progress in talks but threatening to destroy Iranian infrastructure if no deal is reached. Iran rejected Trump's proposal to compensate ships damaged in the Gulf from frozen Iranian funds, while Oman proposed a joint regional mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz with voluntary fees. The IDF killed a Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander involved in the October 7 abductions in a strike in Khan Younis, and Israeli forces conducted operations in southern Lebanon and the West Bank.
