The continued Israeli escalation in southern Lebanon will jeopardize the negotiations with Israel, a Lebanese official warned on Tuesday.

MP Mohammad Raad has lamented that "the reality confirmed by the rounds of direct negotiations between Lebanon and the enemy (Israel) is that the ruling authorities have practically adopted the occupation's narrative against the resistance."

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has stated that there is "increased American involvement in the efforts to solidify the ceasefire."

Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah warned Tuesday that his group would fight any army unit formed by the U.S. and Israel to counter the resistance.

"If Israel and the U.S. manage to form a collaborator army to fight the Resistance, we will fight it just like we fight Israel," Fadlallah said in a press conference, as he warned against free "gifts" to the U.S.

At least six people were killed Tuesday and 3 others wounded in strikes on south Lebanon.

A strike on a home in Kfarsir killed four people and wounded two, while a separate strike targeting a car in Harouf killed one person and wounded another.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he would "hold off" an attack on Iran scheduled for Tuesday at the request of Gulf leaders.

Trump said on his Truth Social network on Monday that "serious negotiations" were now underway with Iran and that Gulf states believed "a deal will be made."

U.S. President Trump on Monday said that he is “not open” to any concessions for Tehran after receiving the latest Iranian response on peace deal talks.

A security agreement that is in the works will include "timetables for disarming all illegal militias, starting with Hezbollah and extending to the smallest Palestinian faction," a Lebanese government source said.

Druze leader Walid Jumblat on Monday described the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel as an "illusion."

Israeli strikes targeted Monday Tebnine, Dweir, Mayfadoun, Majdal Selem, Qana, Deir Ntar, Siddiqine, Maarakeh, Hanaway, Harouf, Kfar Remman, Zawtar, Deir Ames and Deir al-Zahrani in south Lebanon, after a midnight strike on an apartment in Baalbek killed an Islamic Jihad commander and his 17-year-old daughter and wounded two other people.

One person was killed in the strike on a house in Maarakeh, and eight others were wounded.
