Israel and Hezbollah’s back-and-forth attacks against one another over the weekend did not fundamentally disrupt the ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, according to a White House official.

Israel’s military said it struck about 270 targets across Lebanon at Hezbollah targets on Saturday night into Sunday morning in what it described as “preemptive” strikes to prevent an attack. Hezbollah proceeded to fire 230 rockets and 20 drones at Israel, though Israel’s air defenses largely prevented casualties and damage, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
