- Hezbollah rejected a ceasefire plan that the Lebanese and Israeli governments had agreed to in U.S.-mediated talks
- Israel maintained strikes in southern Lebanon on Thursday and declared it would not withdraw its forces from the south
Why it matters: Hezbollah's refusal to accept a deal its own Lebanese government signed onto creates a three-way fracture at the negotiating table, and Israel's stated refusal to pull out of southern Lebanon means its military operations will continue regardless of the diplomatic process.
