Israeli drone strikes targeted vehicles in southern Lebanon, killing at least four people, despite an interim peace deal between the United States and Iran. The attacks occurred amid mounting pressure and warnings from US President Donald Trump, who criticized Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing the military operations as excessive. While the US and Iran prepare to sign a memorandum of understanding for peace, Israel continues its military action in Lebanon. An Israeli representative defended the strikes, arguing they were a necessary response to recent Hezbollah attacks and comparing the situation to a hypothetical attack on India, stating that defending the nation is non-negotiable.

The war that's winding down on one front is still very much live on this one.
