Israel Says US Backs Striking Beirut Suburbs if Hezbollah Attacks
Israel said 3,400 people have been killed in Lebanon since March as fighting with Hezbollah threatens a wider ceasefire.
- On Tuesday, Israel warned that the United States would not restrain it from striking Hezbollah's bastions in Beirut's suburbs if the Iran-backed group continues to target northern Israeli towns.
- President Donald Trump announced an agreement to halt attacks, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government maintains that the Lebanese capital's southern suburbs remain potential targets.
- The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health reported Tuesday that "the cumulative toll of the aggression from March 2 to June 2 has reached 3,468 dead and 10,577 injured," with more than 1.2 million people uprooted.
- While Lebanese negotiators seek a full ceasefire in Washington, Hezbollah press office head Youssef al-Zein said the group will "monitor developments both on the battlefield and in diplomatic channels in the coming days."
- Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz warned that if attacks on Israeli communities continue, the military will strike the Dahiyeh quarter in Beirut, describing this policy as a simple test of security.
