Israeli forces continued military operations in southern Lebanon on Tuesday despite a partial ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah aimed at reducing hostilities.
The truce, announced by Donald Trump, reportedly included an understanding that Israel would refrain from striking Beirut while Hezbollah would halt attacks on Israeli territory. While no strikes were reported in the Lebanese capital, fighting continued in southern regions.
Lebanese authorities reported that Israeli airstrikes and military operations targeted several areas in the south, while Hezbollah claimed responsibility for attacks on Israeli military positions using missiles, drones and artillery fire.
The Lebanese Health Ministry said four people were killed and more than 120 injured following airstrikes near a hospital in the southern city of Tyre. Medical facilities and emergency services were among the sites affected by the violence.
Israel said it targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in the area and maintained that military operations would continue against threats posed by the group. Israeli officials also accused Hezbollah of violating ceasefire understandings through continued attacks.
Meanwhile, fresh evacuation warnings were issued for parts of southern Lebanon as Israeli forces prepared for further operations. Hezbollah, however, insisted its attacks were directed at Israeli military targets.
The conflict has continued to place pressure on regional diplomatic efforts, with Iran warning that Israeli actions in Lebanon could complicate broader negotiations aimed at reducing tensions across the region.
According to Lebanese authorities, more than 3,400 people have been killed since the conflict escalated earlier this year, underscoring the severe humanitarian impact despite ongoing ceasefire efforts.
