During the G7 summit, U.S. President Donald Trump urged Benjamin Netanyahu to exercise restraint in Lebanon, arguing that leveling residential blocks to target individuals is an disproportionate military tactic.<\/p>\n
President Trump called for greater responsibility from the Israeli Prime Minister regarding operations in Lebanon. He stated that destroying entire apartment buildings to find a single person is unjustifiable, noting that these structures house many civilians who are not affiliated with Hezbollah.<\/p>\n
Highlighting the U.S. role in Israel’s existence, Trump issued a direct warning to Netanyahu. He labeled the conflict a “minor war” and suggested that Syria would be better equipped to control Hezbollah, describing the militant group as a persistent annoyance compared to the broader issue of Iran.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, June 17, Lebanese state news agency NNA reported that Israeli forces conducted multiple strikes across southern Lebanon. These included fighter jet attacks on Nabatieh al-Fawka and drone strikes on the coastal city of Ansarijeh.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the newspaper L’Orient-le-Jour reported four fatalities from Israeli strikes on Tuesday. Additionally, the publication noted that 70 bodies were discovered in the rubble of towns where Israeli forces have been engaging pro-Iranian Hezbollah militants.<\/p>\n
Hezbollah joined the conflict on March 2 following joint U.S. and Israeli actions against Iran on February 28. Since Israel occupied parts of southern Lebanon, the region has faced daily shelling, resulting in over 3,000 deaths.<\/p>\n
Despite a preliminary 60-day ceasefire agreement reached on Monday between Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the situation remains fluid. Netanyahu has declared that Israeli troops will remain in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria as long as necessary, while Hezbollah claims Iran is still pushing for an Israeli withdrawal in subsequent negotiations.<\/p>\n
