Israel has launched airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut, specifically targeting areas known for Hezbollah support, despite a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz described the strikes as a response to Hezbollah's recent rocket fire into northern Israel. Reports indicate at least three explosions were heard, with no immediate confirmation of casualties. This military action is likely to complicate ongoing US-led diplomatic efforts aimed at stabilizing the region, especially as tensions with Iran persist. Former US President Donald Trump emphasized that he would not lift sanctions on Iran until a peace deal is reached, indicating a tough stance on negotiations. The ongoing conflict has resulted in over 3,526 deaths in Lebanon since the war began on March 2, highlighting the severe humanitarian toll of the hostilities. As Israel continues its military operations, the situation remains volatile, with Hezbollah rejecting disarmament and maintaining its stance against Israeli occupation in southern Lebanon.
