Netanyahu emerged battered, at home and abroad, from his intention the previous day to launch a wave of bombings on Beirut, canceled on Trump's orders
A day after US President Donald Trump announced an agreement to end the military clashes in Lebanon, the fighting continued on Tuesday with little change from previous days. Israel is limiting itself to not striking Beirut, but its bombings killed 12 people in various parts of the country. Hezbollah, for its part, kept firing, though it stopped aiming at the Israeli towns farthest from the border that it had recently been targeting.
The Israeli military also issued its first evacuation order since Trump's announcement, directed at residents still in Nabatiye, a southern Lebanese city that had 40,000 inhabitants before the war that began in 2024. As in other towns, they are being forced to move north of the Zahrani River, about 40 kilometers from the border.
