Tampa talks day 2: Israel seeks direct operations room with Lebanese army; no breakthrough

On the second day of the US-mediated military talks at CENTCOM in Tampa, Israel asked for a direct operations room with the Lebanese army to verify conditions in two pilot zones. Lebanon voiced reservations about giving Israel a direct role in monitoring its army's movements and insists steps be reciprocal, with an end to Israeli operations and withdrawal. A Lebanese source said no breakthrough had been recorded.
