Israeli Strikes Kill Hezbollah Fighters Near Nabatieh After Peace Deal That Hezbollah Rejects

Israeli forces conduct airstrikes near Nabatieh in southern Lebanon, killing several armed Hezbollah fighters and destroying a rocket launcher after identifying anti-tank weapons that threatened troops.The strikes take place two days after Israel and Lebanon sign a trilateral peace agreement brokered by the US that conditions Israeli withdrawal on Hezbollah disarmament, a pact the militia rejects.The violence follows months of fighting that began in early March, leaving over 4,000 dead in Lebanon, more than 1M displaced and Israeli commanders preparing for a prolonged presence in the south.
