VARIOUS OF SMOKE RISING NEAR RESIDENTIAL BUILDING IN RURAL AREA NABATIEH, LEBANON - AUGUST 05: Israeli military actions ignited a fire in a forested area near the town of Kfar Shuba in southern Lebanon's Hasbaya district on Wednesday, Aug. 5, according to Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA). The blaze rapidly expanded toward the neighboring town of Hiltah as Israeli troops prevented Lebanese Civil Defense teams from entering the area to extinguish the flames. High temperatures and strong winds elevated concerns that the fire could spread into nearby agricultural lands and forested regions. Civil Defense personnel remained unable to access the affected zone to contain the blaze. Earlier in the day, an Israeli drone strike killed one person and injured 11 others in the southern Lebanese town of Tebnine. The attacks came despite a US-brokered framework agreement signed by Beirut and Tel Aviv on June 26 calling for a phased Israeli withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territory in exchange for the deployment of the Lebanese army and the disarmament of armed groups, in an apparent reference to Hezbollah. Wednesday's meeting in the Italian capital marked the second day of the second round of negotiations hosted by Rome. Five previous rounds were held in Washington as part of a US-sponsored process. According to Lebanon's Health Ministry, Israel's military campaign in Lebanon since March 2 has killed 4,333 people and injured 12,250 others. Israel continues to occupy parts of southern Lebanon, including territory seized decades ago and areas captured during the 2023-2024 war. It has also advanced more than 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) into Lebanese territory during its current offensive.
