The U.S. Defense Department said the two militaries held "productive, military-to-military talks" on practical frameworks for regional security, backing "Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity, free of armed non-state actors"; its statement did not mention the truce. Lebanon's prime minister called the talks "the least costly path" but said the outcome was not guaranteed.
Why it matters
The talks took place as Israeli troops advanced north of the Litani, with political negotiations set for June 2-3.
