Israel and Hezbollah continued clashes despite an American-brokered cease-fire that began in April. Netanyahu signaled that Israeli forces would intensify pressure, stating that more than 600 Hezbollah militants had been killed in recent weeks and that Israel would not remove its foot from the pedal. Fighting escalated after Hezbollah began strikes on Israel following an American-Israeli attack on Iran in late February. Israel and Hezbollah accused each other of violating the truce. Israeli strikes on Lebanon since March have killed 3,185 people and wounded more than 9,600, displacing hundreds of thousands. The renewed conflict adds complications to negotiations between Iran and the United States, with Iran seeking Lebanon included in any agreement.
"The death toll from Israeli strikes on Lebanon since fighting with Hezbollah reignited in March has reached 3,185 people, Lebanon's health ministry said on Monday, and more than 9,600 people have been wounded. The renewed fighting, which started when Hezbollah began strikes on Israel after the American-Israeli attack on Iran in late February, has displaced hundreds of thousands of people."
