Yesterday's key developments:

• US President Donald Trump on Monday said he had persuaded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to send troops into southern Beirut.

• The Lebanese presidential office posted a statement by Lebanon's embassy in Washington saying Hezbollah had accepted a US proposal calling for a "reciprocal cessation of attacks".

• Hezbollah claimed several attacks late Monday on Israeli targets in south Lebanon, hours after Trump said the Iran-backed group had agreed that "all shooting will stop".
