Israeli jets conducted air strikes on at least two towns in Lebanon, escalating tensions in the region despite US President Donald Trump's request for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to 'scale back' military actions. The strikes followed a brief pause and have raised concerns about the fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran. In retaliation, Hezbollah, the Iranian proxy in Lebanon, claimed responsibility for rocket attacks on the Israeli towns of Kiryat Shmona and Misgav Am, asserting that these actions would continue until what they term 'Israeli-American aggression' ceases. The ceasefire, which Iran insists includes a halt to fighting in Lebanon, is increasingly strained as Israel's military activities continue. The situation has drawn international attention, particularly after recent Israeli strikes in central Beirut resulted in over 300 fatalities and more than 1,000 injuries. Amid these developments, US officials, including Vice President JD Vance, are expected to engage in talks with Israeli and Lebanese representatives in Washington, aiming to stabilize the situation.
