Summary
Three Israeli drone strikes hit Tyre on Wednesday and wounded people, while another strike targeted Bint Jbeil and raids and shelling hit Kfar Tebnit, Nabatieh al-Fawqa and Ali al-Taher heights.
At least 10 Hezbollah rockets were then launched toward Israeli forces near Kfar Tebnit, as security sources said Israel was trying to seize strategic high ground around Nabatieh despite the pending US-Iran accord.
Iran called Lebanon the most sensitive issue in the deal, said Israel violated the ceasefire 84 times in two days, and warned of a harsh response if attacks continue before Friday's formal signing.
UN data showed cross-border fire fell to 174 projectiles on Sunday from 705 a week earlier, but Amnesty said Israel's displacement orders now cover about 6% of Lebanon and may amount to war crimes.
