The Israeli military said its air force hit over 200 targets linked to the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon on Saturday. The announcement of the strikes comes as Iran demands a cease-fire in Lebanon as part of wider talks with the U.

Media reports suggest Washington and Beirut have urged Israel to pause attacks before the talks. The Reuters news agency, citing Axios, said both the Lebanese government and the Trump administration have requested a temporary halt to hostilities, though the White House has not publicly confirmed the report.
