Israel and Lebanon hold their fourth round of talks.

(HTV) - On June 2nd, delegations from Israel and Lebanon entered a new round of negotiations at the US State Department, seeking a solution to maintain the fragile ceasefire between the two sides. This was also the fourth round of dialogue mediated by the US.

The US State Department said the first meeting had made significant progress. According to Lebanese sources, the two sides are discussing a phased implementation plan for the ceasefire.

Accordingly, this plan could begin with the establishment of pilot zones where Israeli troops gradually withdraw and Lebanese troops take over security control, thereby gradually expanding to a nationwide ceasefire.

According to Lebanese officials, the latest ceasefire agreement, brokered by US President Donald Trump, stipulates that Israel will not attack the southern suburbs of Beirut in exchange for Hezbollah ceasing attacks on Israeli territory.

However, the situation on the ground remains tense. On June 2nd, despite a reduction in the number of attacks, Hezbollah continued to launch missiles and drones. The group declared that it would not accept a "partial ceasefire" and warned of a strong response if Israel attacked the Dahiyeh area – a Hezbollah stronghold south of Beirut.

Meanwhile, the head of Hezbollah's press office, Youssef al-Zein, stated that the organization would not publicly support any ceasefire proposals – unless there was an official declaration compelling Israel to completely end its military operations on Lebanese territory. According to Youssef al-Zein, Hezbollah will continue to monitor developments on the battlefield and through diplomatic channels in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Israel continues its military operations in southern Lebanon. Lebanese media reported that at least four people were killed in Israeli airstrikes and shelling on June 2nd.
