\n The fragile ceasefire in Lebanon is under growing pressure as Israel and Hezbollah have increased attacks on each other despite a US-brokered extension to the ceasefire<\/a> that was supposed to halt the fighting for another three weeks.\n <\/p>\n \n On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military is \u201coperating with force\u201d in Lebanon, as he accused Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire agreement, though the Iran-backed militant group is not a party to the agreement. Netanyahu said Israel\u2019s strikes are \u201caccording to rules agreed upon with the United States.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n On Saturday evening, Netanyahu ordered the military to \u201cvigorously attack\u201d Hezbollah targets in Lebanon following rocket and drone fire into Israel. The Israeli military said it struck Hezbollah military structures and a rocket launcher overnight.\n <\/p>\n \n Earlier Sunday, Hezbollah said it launched an attack on Israeli forces in Taybeh, in southern Lebanon, with a loitering glider, after the group accused Israel of violating the ceasefire. Hezbollah said the attack \u201cachieved a confirmed hit.\u201d Israel subsequently issued an evacuation order<\/a> for several areas in southern Lebanon.\n <\/p>\n \n For context: Two weeks ago, Trump said on social media that \u201cIsrael will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A.\u201d Trump announced a three-week extension of the ceasefire on Thursday and said he hoped to host Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in Washington \u2013 a meeting that appears increasingly untenable.\n <\/p>\n \n Israeli strikes in Lebanon have killed at least 2,496 people, including at least 177 children, since the beginning of the war, according to Lebanon\u2019s Ministry of Public Health.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The fragile ceasefire in Lebanon is under growing pressure as Israel and Hezbollah have increased attacks on each…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":411826,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-411825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=411825"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411825\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/411826"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=411825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=411825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=411825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
