The current two-week ceasefire between the U.S., Israel, and Iran is set to expire in just a few days.
Iran has said it wouldn't engage in further talks with the U.S.
unless there was a ceasefire with Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
So now this temporary agreement potentially helps keep talks between the U.S.
and Iran moving.
But these ceasefires, you know, like so many ceasefires, are precarious, and the collapsing of one could easily collapse the other.
Thank you.
Throughout the day, Hezbollah says it targeted Israeli troops several times with rockets, artillery strikes and drones, as well as firing at communities in Israel's north.
Israel, meanwhile, is expanding its military occupation of southern Lebanon, where it says its military is engaged in fierce battle with Hezbollah fighters.
Lebanese officials say Israel has demolished more than 40,000 homes in the south, seizing land for what Israel calls a buffer zone to keep Hezbollah from firing rockets into northern Israel.
The Lebanese government wants a ceasefire, but Israel won't agree until Hezbollah disarms.
It's a longstanding Israeli demand, which the Lebanese government has been unable to enforce in the past.

Lebanon's Ministry of Health says 97 people were killed by Israeli strikes, mainly in the south, on Saturday alone, including three emergency workers.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah says it has continued attacks on northern Israel and Israeli troops inside Lebanon.
Israel says it struck more than 200 Hezbollah targets over the weekend.
Israel and Lebanon's ambassadors to the U.S.
are set to meet in Washington to discuss a ceasefire.
But at a Hezbollah rally in downtown Beirut Saturday, supporters filled the streets for blocks, waving flags and chanting against negotiations.
