Israel struck southern Lebanon despite U.S. President Trump's announcement of a "three-week extension of the cease-fire."

On the 25th (local time), according to Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA), the Lebanese Health Ministry said Israel carried out two attacks on the Nabatieh area in southern Lebanon that day, killing at least four people.

The Israel Defense Forces also said, "Troops of the 36th Division eliminated three Hezbollah terrorists who were driving a vehicle loaded with weapons at the forward defensive line in southern Lebanon, as well as one terrorist on a motorcycle."

That contrasts with U.S. President Donald Trump saying on the 23rd that "I personally chaired talks with senior representatives of Israel and Lebanon," and that "the cease-fire between Israel and Lebanon will be extended for three weeks."

Al Jazeera said the attack by Israel in Lebanon "occurred north of the Litani River," adding that it "went beyond the area south of the river that the Israeli military unilaterally declared as an operations zone."

Meanwhile, Hezbollah, the pro-Iranian armed faction in Lebanon, continued its attacks on Israel. It launched several drones targeting northern Israel. Air-raid sirens sounded, and no casualties were reported.
