Israeli strikes targeted eastern and southern Lebanon yesterday, state media reported, despite a fragile ceasefire, as a Hezbollah lawmaker called Lebanon’s negotiations with Israel a “dead-end”.

Two Israeli strikes hit the town of Sohmor in eastern Lebanon’s Bekaa valley, the state-run National News Agency (NNA) said, adding that others took place across southern Lebanon.

It also reported a new exodus of residents towards the southern city of Sidon and the capital Beirut.

Israeli attacks since the start of the war have killed more than 2,900 people in Lebanon, including more than 400 since the truce began on April 17, according to Lebanese authorities.
