Israel bombarded targets in southern Lebanon causing major casualties, according to Lebanon's health ministry, hezbollah says that ambushed Israeli forces destroying three tanks
and killing the soldiers. Despite mounting pressure from the U.S., Israel says it will not withdraw from Lebanon. The preliminary U.S. Iran peace deal calls for a halt to all military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon. Israel's defense minister says that will not happen and suggested on Israeli media that Israel
could go at a loan fighting Iran. Israel's far-right national security minister posted on social media, quote, "For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep all of Lebanon must burn." Carry-con, MPR News, Tel Aviv.
“Israel and Hezbollah meanwhile have now agreed to temporarily stop that heavy fighting”

Commercial ships are now moving through the straight of Hormuz after the U.S. signed a preliminary agreement with the Iran this week to end the war and reopen the straight, speaking a joint-based andres president Trump said that's good news for the U.S. "Our country is doing so well, those ships are flowing out of the Hormuz straight, like
