Israeli Strikes in Lebanon Kill Four Amid US-Iran Deal and Regional TensionsPreviousNext

Israeli drone strikes in southern Lebanon killed at least four people despite a recent US-Iran deal aimed at ending regional conflict involving Hezbollah. The attacks targeted vehicles in the Nabatieh area, continuing violence that has caused multiple casualties since the agreement. US President Donald Trump criticized Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for these actions, while Iran condemned the strikes as ceasefire violations and warned of a harsh military response if attacks persist.
