Israel launches fresh strikes on Lebanon despite Trump criticism and US-Iran deal

Recent Israeli airstrikes have targeted Hezbollah sites in Lebanon, intensifying regional tensions even as a new understanding between the United States and Iran seeks to de-escalate wider conflict. These operations have reportedly caused casualties and damage in southern Lebanon, with Lebanese state media and security sources confirming ongoing strikes and retaliatory actions.

The continuation of Israeli military actions in Lebanon comes despite criticism from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who has expressed concerns that such operations could jeopardize the newly established US-Iran ceasefire agreement. Trump has publicly urged for a halt to further attacks, emphasizing the fragility of the deal, which aims to bring peace to the region and has been met with mixed reactions from regional actors.
