Israeli military forces advanced further into southern Lebanon, entering the village of Dibbine. This move coincides with strategic discussions at the Pentagon aimed at resolving tensions between Israel and Lebanon. The talks mark a significant diplomatic engagement, the first of their kind in decades.

The discussions at the Pentagon were described as 'productive,' focusing on establishing practical frameworks for regional security and stability. However, Hezbollah remains outside these negotiations, complicating efforts to achieve a lasting peace. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes continue in multiple Lebanese villages, and evacuation warnings have displaced numerous families.
