Israel carried out strikes in southern Lebanon after the killing of its soldiers, even as diplomatic efforts aimed at easing regional tensions continued in Rome.
The latest military action came amid heightened cross-border tensions involving Israel and armed groups operating in southern Lebanon, raising concerns about a wider escalation.
At the same time, talks in Rome are scheduled to begin on Tuesday and continue through Thursday, with mediators seeking to advance discussions on regional security and de-escalation.
Officials involved in the diplomatic process say the negotiations remain important despite the renewed violence, although the latest strikes could complicate efforts to reach any understanding.
The developments highlight the fragile balance between ongoing military operations and parallel diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing a broader conflict in the region.
