Lebanon reels from 18 dead as Israeli strikes clash with Hezbollah amid US-Iran deal

Lebanon says overnight Israeli strikes killed at least 18 in the south as Israel reports four of its soldiers killed by Hezbollah; the IDF says it hit about 80 Hezbollah targets and killed dozens, while Hezbollah says it ambushed an Israeli group and destroyed three tanks. The fighting unfolds despite a US-Iran deal intended to end hostilities and defend Lebanon’s sovereignty, though Israel says its conflict with Hezbollah is separate from the war on Iran. Lebanon’s health ministry cites about 3,912 dead and 11,699 wounded since the latest round began, with roughly a million displaced.
