Israeli airstrikes targeting southern and eastern Lebanon have resulted in at least eight civilian deaths and numerous injuries, occurring shortly after a US-mediated ceasefire agreement was reached between Israel and Lebanon. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported that an anti-tank missile fired by Hezbollah killed an Israeli soldier, while Hezbollah's leadership, particularly Naim Qassem, condemned the ceasefire as a 'shameless' attempt to enforce Israeli occupation. The ceasefire agreement requires Hezbollah to cease fire and withdraw from the South Litani Sector, which Hezbollah has rejected, stating it rewards Israeli aggression. Qassem emphasized that Hezbollah would not withdraw while Israeli forces remain in Lebanon, warning that northern Israel would continue to face threats. US President Donald Trump expressed optimism about the negotiations, claiming progress was being made despite Hezbollah's stance. The recent violence follows weeks of Israeli military operations in Lebanon, including the capture of Beaufort Castle, a historically significant site.
