Israel and Hezbollah exchanged fire on Tuesday, just hours after US President Donald Trump said the two sides had agreed to halt hostilities.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had turned back troops following a request not to carry out a planned raid on Beirut. He added that, through intermediaries, Hezbollah had also agreed to cease attacks, with Israel expected to reciprocate.
On Tuesday, the warring parties appeared to contradict Trump's announcement, with Israel conducting strikes on southern Lebanon and Hezbollah firing into northern Israel.
