Yesterday's key developments:

• Iran launched missiles at Israel for the first time since a fragile ceasefire took place in early April.

• The Israeli military vowed to press ahead with its military campaign in Lebanon and said it would step up operations against Hezbollah, after launching attacks that killed two and wounded 20 in Beirut's suburbs.

• Iran's top diplomat Abbas Araghchi discussed the latest events in the region on Sunday night with his counterparts in Britain, France, and Turkey, as well as with Qatar's leader and Pakistani mediators, focusing on Israel's ceasefire violations.
