Al Jazeera reported that Israeli air strikes hit Lebanon minutes after a new ceasefire, placing the renewed attacks immediately after the truce announcement.

La Croix also said Israeli strikes on Lebanon killed at least 47 people, including two children, and wounded 97, based on a new tally from the Lebanese Health Ministry.

La Croix said the Lebanese president, Joseph Aoun, appealed for a "global ceasefire" and stressed during a phone interview with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio that a global ceasefire would be a "fundamental basis" for moving forward in direct negotiations with Israel.

In the same recap, La Croix reported that Joseph Aoun thanked Marco Rubio for "the United States' support for Lebanon," according to a presidency statement.

Al Jazeera’s report framed the renewed violence as occurring "minutes after new ceasefire," describing Israeli air strikes hitting Lebanon immediately following the announcement.

La Croix added that the truce was negotiated by American and Qatari mediators following discussions with Israel and Iran, with the truce taking effect in the afternoon, local time, according to a Gulf diplomat.

La Croix said Iran stated there was "no urgency" to meet American negotiators in Switzerland because the framework agreement to end the war in the Middle East had already been signed electronically on June 18.

The recap also reported that the Swiss government announced the sine die postponement of negotiations planned in Switzerland between Tehran and Washington and that the process would address the central nuclear issue and lead to a final agreement.

La Croix further said the Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, accused Israel of wanting "permanent war" after remarks by a far-right Israeli minister calling to "burn everything" in Lebanon after the death of four Israeli soldiers.

Separately, TRT عربي reported that Saudi official media said an alert siren activation included the Al-Kharj Governorate, which houses the Prince Sultan Air Base that hosts American forces, and that Saudi authorities later announced the elimination of the missile threat in the area.
