Israel Intensifies Attacks Across Lebanon Despite US-Iran Ceasefire Deal

ISRAELI-LEBANON BORDER - APRIL 12: An Israeli armored personnel carrier moves near the border with Southern Lebanon, as seen from a position on the Israeli side of the border on April 12, 2026 at Israeli-Lebanon border. Israel stepped-up its attacks on Lebanon following President Donald Trump's announcement of a two-week ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran. Israel says it will observe the ceasefire with Iran but insists Lebanon was not included in the deal, and on April 8 launched the "largest coordinated strike" on Hezbollah targets since the resumption of the cross-border war on March 2, killing more than 200 people. Iran and Pakistan - which has been coordinating peace talks - have said that the ceasefire included Lebanon, while US President Donald Trump has said Lebanon is a "separate skirmish," and not part of the deal.
