Israel rejects Iran's conditions amid continued operations in Lebanon
Israel has rejected Iran's conditional offer for a halt in strikes, affirming its intent to continue operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, following recent bombings in Beirut and Tyre.
Following reciprocal attacks, Iran announced a conditional halt to its strikes, contingent on Israel ceasing operations in southern Lebanon. However, Israel has rejected these terms, with its Defense Minister stating the country will "continue to act" against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Recent Israeli military actions have included bombings in Beirut's southern suburbs and Tyre. This comes after previous reports of Hezbollah rejecting a truce agreement and Israeli attacks causing fatalities in Lebanon. Former US President Donald Trump has also weighed in, advocating for more "surgical" strikes against Hezbollah. The situation indicates ongoing tensions despite efforts towards de-escalation.
