ISRAEL continued to attack southern Lebanon today but did not target Beirut as had been feared.

This followed a US-brokered partial ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Hezbollah resistance group.

Lebanon said that, under an agreement announced by US President Donald Trump late on Monday, Israeli forces would not bomb the capital in exchange for Hezbollah not attacking Israel.

This came after Iran said Israeli action in Lebanon jeopardised talks on a deal to end the war with the US.
