Israeli drone strikes in southern Lebanon killed at least 11 people on June 2, 2026, as delegations from Israel and Lebanon met in Washington for another round of U.S.-mediated talks.
Lebanon’s National News Agency reported strikes on vehicles and areas including Marjayoun, Jibchit, Toul and Harouf. Among those killed were a dentist from Qlayaa and his two children, according to the agency.
The attacks followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to de-escalate fire. Neither side publicly confirmed that arrangement, and Israeli officials said strikes would continue if attacks persisted.
Negotiators in Washington discussed a ceasefire contingent on a halt to Hezbollah fire and withdrawal of operatives south of the Litani River. Hezbollah is not a party to the direct talks. A further round of negotiations was scheduled for the week of June 22.
