The Israeli army continued its airstrikes on the Lebanese capital Beirut on Tuesday despite reports about an imminent cease-fire deal with Lebanon.
The Lebanese state news agency NNA said Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on the neighborhoods of Burj al-Barajneh, al-Raml al-Aali, and Tahouitet el-Ghadir in southern Beirut.
Heavy airstrikes and artillery shelling also targeted Housh Sour, Jdeidet Marjeyoun, and Tayr Harfa in southern Lebanon.
No information was yet available about casualties or damage.
Local media, meanwhile, reported cautious calm in the southern towns of al-Bayyada and al-Naqoura after failed attempts by Israeli forces to advance into the area.
Lebanese group Hezbollah, for its part, said Israeli soldiers were killed and injured in a rocket attack on a Merkava tank in southern Lebanon.
