Israel and Lebanon are set to have a third round of talks in the U.S. next week, officials with knowledge of the matter told CNN.
The ceasefire between the countries, in place since early April, has been put to test repeatedly as Israel and Hezbollah continue trading strikes across the border.
Israel on Wednesday carried out its first attack in Beirut after almost a month, saying targeted the commander of Hezbollah's elite Radwan force, which has been "responsible for firing [rockets] at Israeli communities and harming IDF soldiers."
"The IDF has just struck in Beirut the commander of the Radwan Force in the Hezbollah terror organization to eliminate him," the statement added.
"No terrorist has immunity, Israel's long arm will reach every enemy and murderer. We promised to bring security to the residents of the north. This is how we act, and this is how we will continue to act."
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun had said on Monday that there is "no turning back" from negotiations, claiming they are in "the interests of all Lebanese people."
The country's Ministry of Public Health said on Thursday that Israeli strikes have killed over 2,700 people and injured more than 8,400.
The UN condemned what it described as strikes against medical centers and paramedics, saying they "undermine people's access to care and place both patients and frontline responders at risk."
Iranian officials have demanded the stop of hostilities in Lebanon to pursue negotiations with the U.S.
Axios reported on Wednesday that the U.S. and iran are getting close to a one-page memorandum of understanding with 14 points to end the war and usher detailed nuclear negotiations.
The U.S. expects Iran to response to key issues before the end of the week, the outlet added. Among them are a moratorium on nuclear enrichment and lifting the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S., in turn, would lift sanctions on the country and end its own restrictions in the key waterway.
If agreed, the document would declare an end to the war and begin a 30-day period in which the Strait of Hormuz would gradually reopen while discussions take place. Should they collapse, the U.S. would be able to resume its blockade and military actions.
