Israel said its military attacked Hizbullah targets in Beirut’s ‌southern suburbs on Sunday after the Lebanese armed group fired into Israeli territory.The Israel​ Defense Forces (IDF) said earlier that Hizbullah had launched three projectiles towards communities in northern Israel, calling it a blatant ceasefire violation.“The IDF has ​now attacked terrorist targets of the Hizbullah terrorist organisation in the Dahiyeh ⁠neighbourhood of Beirut, in response to Hizbullah’s firing into Israeli ‌territory,” ‌a ​joint statement by Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu and defence minister Israel Katz said.There was no ⁠immediate comment from ​Hizbullah on the Israeli statement, but ​the group said it launched missiles and drones towards ‌Israeli troops in southern Lebanon.Last ​week, an Israeli strike on Dahiyeh triggered an exchange ⁠of fire between Israel ⁠and Iran ​that threatened to derail a US-Iran deal that would end the wider war.Washington and Tehran appear to be getting closer to a deal to end the more than three-month-long conflict, with US and Pakistani leaders forecast a signing on Sunday.Iran has ‌long made the ⁠cessation of fighting in Lebanon a condition for any wider agreement with the United States. – Reuters(c) Copyright Thomson Reuters 2026
