Israeli drone strikes on southern Lebanon on Tuesday killed eight people, including two children and their father, a day after US President Donald Trump said Israel and the militant group Hezbollah agreed to dial back fighting. The ongoing hostilities – despite Trump's announcement and a nominal ceasefire that began in April – are deepening displacement for Lebanon's conflict-weary population. They also are a significant sticking point in negotiations to extend a ceasefire in the US-Israeli war in Iran, as the Islamic Republic wants any such deal to end fighting in Lebanon, too. Israel kept up strikes on southern ​Lebanon 24 hours after Trump asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to attack Beirut to avert further escalation in the three-month-old war. Following Trump's intervention, Lebanon's government said Israel would refrain from carrying out threatened strikes on the Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs of Beirut, while the group would halt attacks against Israel. But the announcement has failed to reassure many Lebanese or halt the broader war in south ​Lebanon, which Netanyahu has ‌vowed would continue. The din of an Israeli drone over Beirut kept residents on edge on Tuesday. The attacks came as Israeli and Lebanese delegations began a new round of direct talks in Washington on Tuesday as diplomatic pressure for a de-escalation mounted. Iran has demanded a Lebanon ceasefire as part of any wider deal with the US to end the three-month-old war that began with US and Israeli attacks on Iran at ‌the end of February.
