Kathmandu— Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon have killed at least four people and wounded 20 others, despite a truce, as attacks continue despite diplomatic efforts. The strikes, which began at dawn on Sunday, targeted several towns including Arab Salim, Nabatieh, and Nabatieh al-Fawqa, causing significant damage and displacement.

Hezbollah’s Response and International Involvement

Hezbollah condemned Israel’s campaign, which it said was taking place amid “complete international silence and blatant American complicity.” The group reiterated its rejection of Beirut’s “fruitless direct negotiations” with Israel. Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister spoke with Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, as Doha pressed for de-escalation.

The situation remains tense, with both sides continuing to report strikes and damage despite diplomatic efforts. The next steps will depend on the outcome of ongoing negotiations and the decisions of Israeli military and political leadership.
