Recent developments have seen a temporary halt in Israeli strikes on Beirut, with reports suggesting increased communication and 'understandings' between US and Israeli officials. Following two Israeli strikes on Thursday that resulted in the deaths of at least 22 people and injuries to over 100 in the Lebanese capital, there have been no further strikes on Beirut. However, Israeli strikes have continued in other areas, notably in southern Lebanon.
US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently engaged in their first conversation in almost two months, signaling a renewed dialogue between the two nations. Subsequent diplomatic exchanges between the leadership of both countries have led to these reported 'understandings' regarding strikes in Beirut and a potential strike on Iran.
