Yesterday's key developments:

  • An Israeli strike on south Lebanon Tuesday killed at least 10 people including three women and three children, the health ministry said, despite a ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war.
  • US Vice President JD Vance said that Iran talks are making good progress but Washington was "locked and loaded" to restart military operations if there is no deal.
  • Israeli forces opened fire on at least two vessels in an aid flotilla sailing towards ‌Gaza on Tuesday, according to video footage and flotilla organisers. Israel said ⁠no live ammunition was used and there were no casualties.
