Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has continued in southern Lebanon despite a ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States last month. Lebanese authorities reported that an Israeli strike in the south killed seven people, including one child.

Both sides have accused each other of violating the terms of the truce. Israeli forces report that Hezbollah militants have continued attacking Israeli troops in the region, while Lebanon has documented ongoing Israeli military strikes in southern areas.

The ceasefire deal was announced in recent weeks as part of diplomatic efforts to end hostilities that had escalated significantly. The agreement was designed to halt cross-border attacks and establish a framework for de-escalation between the two sides.

Despite the formal ceasefire announcement, military activity has shown little sign of decreasing. The continued exchange of fire raises questions about the durability of the U.S.-mediated agreement and the prospects for lasting peace along the Lebanon-Israel border.

The violence has affected civilian populations on both sides of the border, with casualties reported in southern Lebanese communities. International observers are monitoring compliance with the ceasefire terms as diplomatic efforts continue to reinforce the agreement.
