Israel Strikes Beirut's Southern Suburbs Days After US-Supported Ceasefire Deal
The strike hit a residential building and killed 2 people, as officials said Hezbollah targets were the intended target.
- On Sunday, June 7, 2026, Israel struck the outskirts of Beirut for the first time since the United States announced a truce plan, casting new jeopardy on talks to end the wider war.

- Influential lawmaker Ebrahim Rezaei threatened a "decisive and painful response" to the strikes, while an Israeli official told Reuters that Israel would retaliate against any attacks, viewing them as "an opportunity to renew the campaign."

- Marking 100 days of conflict, Trump told NBC News, "We're very close to a deal, or I'm going to blow the hell out of them," while Tehran continues blocking shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
