Amid negotiations in Naqoura that establish 3 joint working groups, Israel agrees to hand back reported terrorist and 4 other Lebanese; IDF strikes Hezbollah operatives

Israel and Lebanon have agreed to open negotiations to resolve longstanding disputes over the land border between the countries, two U.S. officials tell Axios. Why it matters: The Trump administration successfully pushed the two sides to come to the table just months after Israel invaded Lebanon as part of its war against Hezbollah.

Israel and Lebanon have agreed to start talks “as soon as possible” on their disputed land border nearly four months after a ceasefire ended the most recent war between the two countries.
