Israeli strikes pound Lebanon despite signs US and Iran are close to peace deal

Israeli airstrikes struck southern and eastern Lebanon on Sunday, killing an unspecified number of people according to Lebanese state media, one day after a separate strike on Sir al-Gharbiyeh killed 11 people including a child and six women. The strikes occur amid an active ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah and concurrent US-Iran diplomatic negotiations, raising questions about the sustainability of the current truce framework.
