Israeli drone strikes in southern Lebanon on Tuesday killed eight people, including a father and his two children, a day after United States President Donald Trump said that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to dial back fighting.

Lebanon also announced a partial ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, marking limited de-escalation in a conflict that has killed thousands. However, fighting persists, and the flare-up has complicated the wider standoff between the US and Iran, with peace negotiations remaining stalled for weeks.
