Israel and Hezbollah clash overnight ahead of talks hosted by the United States involving Israel and Lebanon, multiple reports say. Free Malaysia Today reports that the fighting occurs despite Lebanon’s statement that Hezbollah has accepted a US proposal calling for a “mutual cessation of attacks.” The Inquirer.net describes continued hostilities even after US President Donald Trump announces that both sides have agreed to halt fighting prior to the Tuesday talks. Inquirer.net also says Israel’s campaign in Lebanon continues to intensify, including heavy bombardment and what it describes as its deepest ground invasion in two decades, which it reports could undermine any broader ceasefire efforts in the wider Middle East conflict linked to US-Iran tensions. Inquirer.net further links the escalation to Hezbollah’s involvement after rockets were fired toward Israel on March 2, following the killing of Iran’s supreme leader in a US-Israeli operation, and it says Iran has called for Lebanon to be included in any peace arrangement. The Taipei Times provides no additional details in the provided excerpt.
