Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group in Lebanon, and the Israeli military continued to exchange strikes overnight in southern Lebanon, as delegations from both countries prepare for another round of negotiations on Tuesday.
Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee ordered residents of Nabatieh to evacuate to north of Zahrani river as the army says it is “compelled to act” against Hezbollah attacks.
Israel continued to launch strikes on areas in the south of Lebanon, according to the Lebanese state news agency (NNA). Meanwhile, Hezbollah announced it targeted an Israeli tank in Nabatieh district in the early hours of Tuesday.
Lebanon’s embassy in Washington said Hezbollah had confirmed it would refrain from attacking Israel in exchange for Israel ceasing strikes in Beirut.
While US President Donald Trump said that “all shooting will stop,” Israel said in a statement that it would continue operations in southern Lebanon but tacitly announced that, for now at least, it would not strike Beirut.
