The talks in Lebanon were forced to end, and the U.S. side claimed there was "positive progress."

According to a report by the Italian news agency ANSA on the 7th, security negotiations between Israel and Lebanon, mediated by the United States in the Italian capital Rome, were forced to conclude early on the 6th, while the U.S. State Department claimed that the talks were "productive." The current round of negotiations began on the 4th at the U.S. Embassy in Italy and was scheduled to last for three days, focusing on border security arrangements between the two countries and the implementation of a framework agreement reached in Washington at the end of June, with both parties sending technical delegations to participate. The report stated that the final day of talks was cut short due to escalating tensions in southern Lebanon. A spokesperson from the U.S. State Department was quoted as saying that this round of talks had concluded, and on a technical and expert level, they were "productive," with both sides "closer to reaching an agreement" on the measures necessary to advance and expand the withdrawal operations from the "pilot area." The "pilot area" mechanism stems from a trilateral agreement reached in June between Lebanon, Israel, and the United States. According to the agreement, the Israeli military would withdraw from certain areas in southern Lebanon, with the Lebanese army taking over local security responsibilities. Recently, the Israeli military has continued airstrikes in southern Lebanon, stating that it was a response to the deaths of two Israeli soldiers in an attack, which it attributed to Hezbollah. The Israeli side has indicated that it will only withdraw from the relevant areas once Hezbollah, backed by Iran, is disarmed.
