Lebanese leaders have urged the US ambassador to Beirut to pressure Israel to halt its attacks, as the Jewish state continues to strike Hezbollah targets in the country.
Hezbollah and Israel have continued to strike each other despite the ceasefire, claiming violations of the truce.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam met separately with US Ambassador Michel Issa, in preparation for a third meeting between Lebanese and Israeli representatives set to take place in Washington on Thursday and Friday.
Salam says he asked Issa to “exert pressure on Israel to stop the ongoing attacks and violations, in order to consolidate the ceasefire.”

Today, Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported Israeli airstrikes on more than 30 locations in the south and east.
It reported casualties in several areas, including south Lebanon’s Zebdine, where it said an Israeli drone struck two people “while they were distributing bread” in a municipality vehicle to residents who had refused to leave the town.
Under the terms of the ceasefire published by Washington, Israel reserves the right to act against “planned, imminent or ongoing attacks.” It says it only targets terror operatives.
