It did not say how the attack was carried out.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s military has regularly carried out assaults in southern Lebanon and continues to occupy five positions there despite a November 2024 ceasefire meant to end hostilities with Lebanon-based Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli military did not immediately comment on Tuesday\u2019s incident.<\/p>\n<p>The attack came as Lebanon\u2019s foreign minister warned of potential consequences for his country if conflict breaks out between the United States and Iran, which is allied with Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to reporters in Geneva, Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi said \u201cthere are signs\u201d Israel could carry out intense strikes in Lebanon \u201cin the event of an escalation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Raggi said targets could include an airport although diplomacy is ongoing to protect civilian infrastructure.

The area starts at the Lebanese-Israeli border and extends to the Litani River, 30km (20 miles) north of Israel.<\/p>\n<p>But Israel has called the Lebanese army\u2019s efforts \u201cfar from sufficient\u201d and continued its regular strikes.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s ongoing attacks have been condemned by Lebanon and international bodies, including the United Nations, which said in November at least 127 civilians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon since the ceasefire went into effect.<\/p>\n<p>The Lebanese government counted more than 2,000 Israeli violations of the ceasefire in the last three months of 2025 alone.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Israel said it hit a Hezbollah target in eastern Lebanon as well as targets linked to the Palestinian group Hamas in the south. Lebanon said at least 12 people were killed including civilians.<\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah said on Saturday eight of its fighters died and promised renewed \u201cresistance\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>With the risk of a United States-Iran confrontation lingering, the US on Monday ordered the departure of all non-emergency personnel at its embassy in Beirut.<\/p>\n<p>The White House on Tuesday said US President Donald Trump still prefers diplomatic engagement with Iran but would use lethal force if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>The US and Iran are set to hold a third round of talks on Thursday in Geneva.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israeli attack carried out near Lebanese observation post being constructed in the Marjayoun area, Lebanese army says.
