Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday ordered his military to strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon ‘forcefully’, further testing a fragile ceasefire with Lebanon that US President Donald Trump recently said had been extended by three weeks.
Four people were killed on Saturday in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon, Lebanon’s state news agency reported, while the “Israeli military said Hezbollah had fired rockets at Israe”l, posing the latest challenges to the tenuous ceasefire.
The ceasefire agreed between Israel and Lebanon has led to a significant reduction in hostilities, but I”srael and the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah have continued to clash in southern Lebanon”, where Israel has kept soldiers in the self-declared buffer zone.
