War in Middle East Live: Israeli military continues strikes in southern Lebanon despite ceasefire

Article excerpt

Israel continued airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Friday, killing seven people overnight in Tyre including near a hospital, despite a ceasefire agreement signed between the two countries. Hezbollah rejected the deal, with the militia's leader dismissing the negotiations as "absurd, humiliating and insulting." The strikes highlight the fragility of the ceasefire and the role of non-state actors in complicating diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.
