Israel-Lebanon Escalation Amid Ceasefire Talks
Israeli military launched renewed strikes on southern Lebanese towns including Kfer Melki, Sinai, and Seddiqine on May 13-14, killing and injuring multiple civilians, even as Lebanon and Israel prepared for ceasefire negotiations in Washington. The escalation underscores ongoing tensions despite a nominally active ceasefire agreement.
