Israel resumed strikes in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, August 5, while discussions aimed at addressing the conflict continued in Rome. The renewed military action has raised fresh concerns about the durability of the ceasefire.
The Israeli military said it was “compelled to act,” accusing Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire. Israel presented the strikes as a response to what it described as a breach by the militant group.
The developments came as diplomatic talks continued in Rome. Lebanese state media reported casualties following the renewed strikes, although the available report did not provide a complete account of the toll.
The strikes and the ongoing negotiations reflect continued uncertainty around the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, with military actions resuming even as efforts to sustain the truce remain underway.
