Israeli Foreign Minister Denies Plans for Lebanon Talks and Interceptor Shortages

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar denied reports of imminent direct talks with Lebanon and rejected claims that Israel is running low on ballistic missile interceptors. These reports, cited by Israeli and US media, suggested talks could occur soon and that interceptor supplies were critically low amid ongoing conflict involving Hezbollah and Iranian missile attacks. Israeli military sources confirmed readiness for a prolonged campaign, while some officials expressed skepticism about diplomatic progress before Lebanon acts against Hezbollah.
