Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
Israel has issued new warnings in southern Lebanon today that it will continue attacks there.
Lebanese state media say Israel has fired multiple artillery and airstrikes today.
NPR's Greg Myrie says this comes after both countries
said yesterday they'd agreed to renew a ceasefire that had collapsed.
This is significant.
If it works, but lots of reasons to be skeptical, and we're already seeing some evidence of that.
Obviously, it would be good for Israel and Lebanon,
and it would also remove a key obstacle to a possible agreement in the Iran war.
Iran is the big backer of the militant group Hezbollah,
and it said it would stop the indirect negotiations with the U.S.
If Israel keeps waging this military operation in Lebanon.
It says there must be ceasefires in both countries.
