Israel launched fresh airstrikes on southern Lebanon on Wednesday, defying warnings from Iran and the United States as regional tensions escalated following a newly signed US-Iran peace accord. Israeli warplanes struck multiple towns and villages in the south, including areas near Tyre and Nabatieh, according to Lebanese state media and international correspondents . The strikes came just two days after Washington and Tehran finalized a memorandum aimed at de-escalating hostilities across the Middle East, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s military command responded with an unusually blunt threat, warning Israel of a “strong response” if the aerial campaign in southern Lebanon continued. The Iranian General Staff accused Israeli forces of violating the ceasefire 84 times in 48 hours alone, a claim echoed by Lebanese health officials who reported 3,826 killed and 11,851 wounded since Israel’s offensive began in March . The escalation risks derailing the US-Iran agreement, which is scheduled to be signed in Switzerland on Friday and includes provisions for a phased Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon.
US President Donald Trump broke from his usual staunch support for Israel, publicly condemning the bombing of civilian buildings in southern Lebanon. “It’s unnecessary to destroy entire residential blocks to hunt individuals,” Trump said in a rare rebuke, adding that Israel’s tactics risked destabilizing the fragile peace process . Trump also suggested that Syria, under President Ahmad al-Sharaa, could “take care of Hezbollah” in Lebanon, praising Damascus as “very responsible” and criticizing Israel’s inability to target militants without widespread destruction .
Meanwhile, thousands of displaced Lebanese began returning to southern villages this week, only to find their homes and businesses reduced to rubble. The returns, which accelerated after the US-Iran accord, have turned into a grim reckoning with the scale of devastation left by months of Israeli bombardment . Israeli military sources told domestic media that the army is preparing for a prolonged presence in Lebanon, despite the diplomatic breakthrough, signaling that the crisis may not yet be resolved .
The latest strikes have also drawn international scrutiny over Israel’s use of AI-driven targeting systems, with reports suggesting that Elon Musk’s Grok model was employed in planning some attacks . Analysts warn that continued Israeli operations risk further alienating Western allies and could jeopardize future US military and diplomatic support.
