Israel, Hezbollah exchange fire despite Trump’s intervention

Israeli and Hezbollah forces continued exchanging fire on Tuesday despite claims by United States President Donald Trump that his intervention had prevented an escalation on Monday.

According to Lebanese media, Israel struck in separate areas in southern Lebanon, leading to the death of one person, while the Lebanese Armed Forces disclosed that two of its soldiers were wounded.

Israeli Defense Force, IDF, spokesperson, Avichay Adraee also issued new evacuation warnings for residents of the southern Lebanese city of Nabatiyeh, warning of planned “forceful action” against alleged Hezbollah targets in the area.

In a post on X on Tuesday, the IDF said that air alert sirens sounded due to rocket and drone attacks toward northern Israel.

Hezbollah also claimed a missile attack on an Israeli tank in Hadatha in southern Lebanon in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
