According to Israeli sources, the rocket fire from Hezbollah was met with retaliatory strikes on two vehicles south of Beirut, as reported by the Lebanese news agency NNA. This escalation follows recent direct talks in Washington between representatives of Lebanon and Israel, marking the first such discussions in decades; however, Hezbollah was not involved and has rejected the negotiations. Israel continues to demand the disarmament of Hezbollah from the Lebanese government. This information was broadcast on April 15, 2026, by Deutschlandfunk.
