Israel defies US-Iran deal, vows to stay in Lebanon despite ceasefire calls
Israel strikes Beirut as US-Iran ceasefire deal nears: Escalation threatens fragile talks
Israel halts strikes on Iran but vows Lebanon campaign as Trump pushes ceasefire
Israel launched airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut on Sunday, targeting what it described as Hezbollah command centers, as the United States and Iran appeared close to finalizing a landmark peace deal that could impose a comprehensive ceasefire across Lebanon. The Israeli military said the strikes were retaliation for recent drone attacks on northern Israel, which it blamed on the Iran-backed militant group. At least three people were killed in the strikes, according to Al Jazeera .
The Israeli strikes came hours after former US President Donald Trump announced that a deal between Washington and Tehran was imminent, raising concerns that the military action could derail negotiations. Iran, which has warned that any peace agreement must include Lebanon, has not yet responded militarily but reiterated its demand that the US uphold its commitments to ensure the deal’s viability. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich escalated tensions by demanding that 10 buildings in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district be destroyed for every rocket fired from Lebanon, a statement that further strained regional stability .
Footage verified by monitoring groups showed two Israeli fighter jets dropping four munitions on a residential building in southern Beirut, according to a Telegram post by WarMonitors . The Israeli military claimed the targets were Hezbollah command-and-control facilities, a claim echoed by multiple European outlets, including *La Repubblica* .
The strikes occurred amid a broader escalation in southern Lebanon, where Israel has issued forced displacement orders for residents of 29 towns, according to Al Jazeera . The orders, which require civilians to evacuate within 24 hours, have drawn international criticism and raised fears of a humanitarian crisis. Israeli Army Radio suggested that Jerusalem assessed Iran would not retaliate militarily, a calculation that appears to have been tested by the Beirut strikes .
Analysts warn that the timing of the Israeli operation risks undermining the US-led diplomatic push to stabilize the region. The proposed ceasefire, which would require Hezbollah and Israel to halt all military actions, is seen as a critical step toward de-escalation. However, the Israeli strikes have already prompted condemnation from regional actors, with Iran’s foreign ministry insisting that any US-Iran deal must address Lebanon’s security concerns. The coming hours will determine whether the strikes trigger a wider conflict or remain a contained escalation.
