US President Donald Trump announced a three-week extension to the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire following White House talks with Israeli and Lebanese envoys. An Israeli strike killed three people in southern Lebanon, and Hezbollah and Israel exchanged fire hours after the extension was announced. Regional tensions remain elevated with a US naval blockade of Iranian ports and the arrival of a third US aircraft carrier in the Middle East.
