Smoke billowed from southern Lebanon on Thursday (June 4) following Israeli strikes reported by Lebanon's National News Agency NNA.
Israel will continue to strike Lebanon for the time being and won't be withdrawing from the south, Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Thursday, after Lebanon and Israel agreed to a ceasefire contingent on Hezbollah halting attacks. The deal was announced in Washington after talks between Lebanese and Israeli officials, part of a U.S.-led diplomatic track to which the Iran-backed Shi'ite Muslim group Hezbollah is not a party. Hezbollah has yet to comment on the agreement.
NNA reported a drone strike on a motorbike killed one person and wounded another. The Israeli military, in a warning to residents of the south, said it was continuing to target Hezbollah facilities.
The war has continued despite several ceasefires declared from Washington since April. Hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel reignited on March 2, when the group opened fire in support of Tehran as it came under U.S.-Israeli attack.
