Israel continued to strike southern Lebanon on Tuesday (Lebanon time) as Iran-backed Hezbollah attacked its troops there despite an apparent Washington-brokered de-escalation deal and a fourth round of US-hosted talks between Lebanon and Israel.
US President Donald Trump had announced an agreement to halt some attacks on Monday, but neither side has publicly accepted it and Israel's defence minister said the Lebanese capital's southern suburbs remained potential targets.
The deal, according to a statement from the Lebanese embassy in Washington, would, at first, stop Israeli attacks on Beirut and Hezbollah attacks on Israeli territory.
