Hezbollah fires rockets as US-led talks begin

Hezbollah fired multiple rockets from Lebanon at the northern Israeli settlement of Shitula, an attack timed to coincide with the opening of US-brokered direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel at the White House. The group framed the strike as its method of negotiating with Israel, which it labels a criminal and genocidal enemy, and criticized the Lebanese government's diplomatic engagement. The attack underscores Hezbollah's opposition to the talks and its intent to maintain military pressure. The incident occurred as President Donald Trump was reportedly planning to attend the high-stakes discussions aimed at addressing the ongoing border conflict.
