Israel continues deadly attacks on Lebanon as Hezbollah rejects ceasefire agreement

Article excerpt

Israeli airstrikes on the southern Lebanese city of Tyre killed seven people overnight, according to civil defense sources, even as a conditional ceasefire agreement circulated this week. Lebanese and Israeli envoys had proposed a truce requiring Hezbollah to cease fire, withdraw from the border area, and allow Lebanon's army to deploy to designated zones. Hezbollah rejected the deal, demanding Israel's complete withdrawal from Lebanon instead.
