Lebanese state media reported Israeli airstrikes on villages in southern Lebanon killed 3 people and wounded more than 10.

US Defense Secretary Hegseth said the US still has global obligations, including preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Lebanese and Israeli military delegations failed to agree a ceasefire at US-mediated talks in Washington, Lebanese officials said early on the 30th. Prime Minister Netanyahu confirmed a major Israeli force has crossed the Litani River in southern Lebanon. Lebanese officials said their delegation repeatedly pressed for a ceasefire, which the Israeli delegation rejected; Israel also refused to withdraw from territory it occupies in Lebanon and insisted on the disarmament of Hezbollah. The US-mediated trilateral talks began at the Pentagon on the morning of the 29th Eastern Time and ended after more than nine hours.
