The Israeli military conducted a series of airstrikes on southern and eastern regions of Lebanon. These attacks occurred amid reports that a U.S.-mediated "three-way phone call" between Israeli and Lebanese leaders was being pursued.

At least 11 people, including two children, were killed as Israeli invading forces demolished homes in southern Lebanon and issued evacuation diktats.

Lebanon and Israel are set to hold the first direct diplomatic talks in decades on Tuesday in Washington following more than a month of war between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group that has rocked the tiny Mediterranean country.

Israel carried out strikes in Lebanon on Wednesday, hours after the United States and Iran reached a Pakistani-mediated two-week cease-fire.

Lebanon's health ministry says that Israeli strikes during the day killed 182 people, the highest single-day death toll in the Israel-Hezbollah war.
