An Israeli drone attack has been reported in Mayfadoun, in southern Lebanon's Nabatieh district. According to the National News Agency, no casualties were reported in the attack. This incident occurred amid a large-scale Israeli bombardment of Lebanon and ongoing peace talks between Israel and Lebanon in Rome.

The peace talks, which were US-mediated, ended earlier than expected on Wednesday due to the situation on the ground. A US State Department official described the discussions as "extremely productive," with progress made on implementing the Trilateral Framework, an agreement aimed at ending hostilities between Israel and Lebanon.

In a separate incident, a probe by Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and The Legal Agenda found that Israel deliberately targeted Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil and her camerawoman in an attack in April, according to France 24. The UN human rights office noted that deliberate attacks on civilians are a concern.
