00:01Israel carried out deadly strikes on southern Lebanon on Saturday, according to the country's
00:07civil defense agency, just hours after the United States announced a renewed ceasefire
00:12between Israel and Hezbollah. 16 people were reported killed in the southern town of Nabatia
00:18and nearby villages, and at least 12 were injured. The strikes came after mediators scrambled to
00:25halt the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah following a heavy exchange on Friday that killed
00:30at least 47 people in Lebanon and four Israeli soldiers. Israel said Hezbollah had fired more
00:37than 50 projectiles at Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, prompting the fresh Israeli strikes.
00:43Meanwhile, Hezbollah said its fighters had confronted Israeli forces as they tried to
00:48infiltrate areas further into Lebanese territory near Nabatia. Tehran has made a ceasefire and
00:54Lebanon a key demand in negotiations to end the war with the U.S., and a recently brokered
01:00peace agreement remains under threat, with follow-up talks planned for Friday in Switzerland
01:04delayed due to the continued fighting in Lebanon.
