Israel’s attacks on Lebanon may be a sticking point in ceasefire negotiations between Iran and the United States.  

More 300 people were killed and over 1000 injured in Israel's strikes on Lebanon yesterday, with Israel claiming the conflict there wasn't covered by the ceasefire agreement. 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's since ordered his Cabinet to open direct talks with Lebanon to establish "peace relations", but has rejected any reports of a ceasefire.  

The Economist's Middle East correspondent Gregg Carlstrom told Mike Hosking the strikes won’t stop entirely, but we may not see the same level as before.  

He says that if Israel tones down their attacks, it will hopefully take away the threat to the broader ceasefire in the region.
