The fifth round of negotiations between Israel and Lebanon opened on Tuesday in Washington, with the talks centered on creating "pilot areas" where Israeli forces would withdraw in order for the Lebanese army to prove its ability to disarm Hezbollah.

Just before the talks began, Hezbollah claimed that the IDF "violated" the ceasefire, saying that soldiers opened fire with "automatic weapons towards a group of civilians" near Nabatiya at approximately 11:30 a.m.

It called the alleged incident "treacherous" and claimed that two civilians were killed, and two more were injured.
