On May 29 2026, Israeli troops entered Dibbine and conducted airstrikes that killed at least six people in southern Lebanon, according to reports from The Hindu and Al-Monitor. A Lebanese military delegation met Israeli officials at the Pentagon the same day for the first direct military talks in decades, while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that forces had crossed the Litani River. A nominal ceasefire has been in place since April 17 2026, though Hezbollah has refused to participate in the talks.
