Israel Strikes Lebanon Despite Ceasefire Deal

THE TELEGRAPH: Israel will continue strikes and ground operations in Lebanon, insisting the ceasefire agreed last night only applies to the war with Iran.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, said the agreement between the US and Iran did not cover the fight against Hezbollah and that the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) would continue their operations.

This morning, the IDF issued another evacuation order covering the southern suburbs of Beirut and fired a wave of missiles. » | Robert White. Harriet Barber. Emily Blumenthal. Abbir Dib | Wednesday, April 8, 2026
