00:02Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said on Monday he would do the impossible in order to stop the war
00:07with Israel, as strikes continued to batter the country despite a ceasefire.
00:13Aoun's comments came as the Israeli army carried out a series of strikes in southern Lebanon,
00:18while the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah said it had struck a military target in northern Israel.
00:26Lebanon's health ministries said late on Sunday that seven people had been killed in Israeli strikes
00:30that day, including two children. While a ceasefire was announced on April 17th and was extended for
00:3845 days last week following U.S.-led talks, it has failed to stop the violence between Israel and
00:44Hezbollah, which have continued to launch strikes as they accuse each other of violating the agreement.
00:51Israel has also continued carrying out demolitions and issuing evacuation orders in the so-called
00:57Yellow Line, a swathe of southern Lebanon that Israeli forces have invaded and occupied,
01:02although officials have claimed Israel has no territorial ambitions there.
01:07On Monday, the Lebanese health ministry said the death toll from Israeli strikes since the start of
01:12the war had reached 3,020, with 211 people, 18 and under, and 116 health care workers among those killed.
