The ambassadors of Israel and Lebanon began a new round of direct talks in Washington after US President Donald Trump said he had received commitments from both sides to de-escalate.
The fourth meeting between representatives of the two countries, which do not have diplomatic relations, is taking place on Tuesday at the State Department and is scheduled to last two days.
Participants include Israel's ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, and Lebanese envoy Nada Hamadeh Moawad, as well as Daniel Holler, a senior adviser to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
None of the officials made any statements.
The talks come as Israel continues to strike Lebanon, despite Trump announcing an agreement on Monday to halt attacks.
Israel on Tuesday said it would continue targeting Hezbollah's bastions in Beirut's suburbs if the group continues to attack northern Israeli towns.
Recent days have seen a dramatic escalation in attacks and bombardment as Israeli troops stage their deepest invasion into Lebanon in two decades.
Lebanon's health ministry said on Tuesday that Israeli strikes a day earlier near a hospital in the southern city of Tyre killed four people and wounded 127 others, including 39 staff from the facility.
