Israeli drone strikes car in southern Lebanon amid U.S.-Iran deal reports

An Israeli drone strike on Monday targeted a vehicle in Kfartebnit, a town in southern Lebanon situated near the "Yellow Line," a demarcation zone where Israeli troops remain stationed. This incident occurred despite reports of a U.S.-Iran agreement aimed at ending the conflict in the Middle East, including in Lebanon.

Israeli figures have voiced strong criticism of the U.S.-Iran deal, asserting it would not guarantee their country's security. According to Israeli media, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu communicated to U.S. President Donald Trump that Israel intends to maintain its current positions in Lebanon and does not consider itself bound by any Lebanese clauses within the emerging agreement.

Simultaneously, Israeli artillery shelled Kfartebnit and Naabtieh al-Fawqa. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for attacks targeting Israeli soldiers and equipment in several locations, including Majdalzoun, Khiam, Arnoun, Ras al-Bayyada, and Odaisseh.

The Israeli army issued a statement urging displaced residents to postpone their return to southern border villages. "The army command emphasizes the need for residents to delay returning to southern border villages and towns, and to adhere to instructions of the deployed army units, in order to safeguard their safety from the risk of Israeli violations and attacks," the statement read. Despite the warning, some displaced citizens were observed cautiously returning to areas without Israeli forces, while drones flew at low altitudes over southern Lebanon and Beirut.
