Israel carried out fresh air strikes in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, according to Lebanese state media. The attacks came despite criticism from US President Donald Trump. Trump said Israel needed to be more careful in Lebanon and that too many people were being killed. Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has continued since a US-Iran peace agreement was announced. Israel says it is targeting Hezbollah positions. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli forces would stay in Lebanon as long as needed. Iran warned that any new Israeli attacks or military presence in Lebanon could violate the agreement and threaten regional stability. (PC: BBC)
