Shafaq News- Beirut<\/p>\n

A third round of US-mediated talks between Lebanon and Israel is
\nscheduled for May 14\u201315 in Washington, the US State Department confirmed on
\nThursday, even as cross-border escalations between Israel and Hezbollah
\npersist.<\/p>\n

The Lebanese delegation will include former ambassador to Washington
\nSimon Karam, current ambassador Nada Hamadeh Mouawad, Deputy Head of Mission
\nWissam Boutros, and the military attach\u00e9 at the Lebanese embassy in Washington.
\nThe Israeli delegation has not yet been named.<\/p>\n

The second round of ambassador-level discussions took place on April 23,
\nfollowing an initial session in Washington one week earlier and three days
\nafter a US-backed ceasefire that halted military operations between Hezbollah
\nand Israel.<\/p>\n

The ceasefire, extended by US President Donald Trump for an additional
\nthree weeks, did not halt Israeli military activity on the ground. Lebanese
\nmedia documented multiple aerial assaults across southern areas, including
\nNabatieh, Marjayoun, Bint Jbeil, and Tyre districts.<\/p>\n

An Israeli attack targeted a Civil Defense team affiliated with the
\nIslamic Health Authority in Majdal Selm, injuring several members. Another raid
\non a residential house in Harouf killed one person and wounded three others. A
\nseparate bombing on Bir al-Salasel also left additional injuries.<\/p>\n
