Israel and Lebanon extend ceasefire for 45 days as fresh strikes kill civilians

Truce was announced, then strikes hit immediately after

Israel and Lebanon agreed to extend a ceasefire for 45 days and begin expanded talks toward a political settlement, the US said. The deal followed two days of meetings in Washington and negotiations scheduled for early June. But violence continued: Israel carried out new strikes, insisting they were not covered by the truce, including an attack on a Hezbollah-linked medical center in southern Lebanon. Lebanese officials reported deaths, injuries, and renewed displacement, while the UN warned of an “unacceptable” civilian toll.
