Summary
Friday airstrikes and missile attacks again hit southern Lebanon, while Israeli drones flew over Beirut and new evacuation warnings were issued.
The war erupted in March after Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel in response to the U.S.-Israeli assault on Iran, and fighting has shown little sign of easing.
Trump’s claims of diplomatic progress with Tehran have not translated into calm in Lebanon, where U.S.-brokered ceasefire efforts have repeatedly failed.
Iran has insisted any deal must include an end to Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah, but Israel has resisted linking the two, leaving Lebanon caught in the impasse.
