At least six killed, including paramedics, in Israeli strike on civil defense center in southern Lebanon
The strike destroyed the centre and wounded 22 people, officials said, deepening doubts over a 45-day ceasefire extension.
- On Friday, the US State Department announced a 45-day extension to the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire originally declared by President Donald Trump on April 16, enabling further diplomatic progress.

- A security track will launch at the Pentagon on May 29 with military delegations, as officials hope discussions advance lasting peace, territorial integrity, and genuine security along the shared border.
