Israeli strikes targeted Wednesday three cars on a major highway linking Beirut to southern Lebanon, killing 8 people, including a woman and her two children, ahead of talks between Lebanon and Israel in Washington.

The attacks took place in Jiyeh, Barja and Saadiyat. On Saturday, two similar strikes targeted two cars on the same highway, despite a truce reached on April 16.

Strikes targeted Tuesday afternoon al-Henniyyeh, Kherbet Selem, Qsaybeh, Harees, Tayrdebba, and Ras al-Ain south of Tyre, while Hezbollah claimed drone attacks on a soldier and a Merkava tank in north Israel near the border with Houla.

The Israeli army renewed its warning to four villages in south Lebanon -- Arzoun, Tayrdebba, Bazourieh and al-Hosh.

Amid preparations for the third round of Lebanese-Israeli negotiations in Washington, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam clarified that "at the top of our agenda is solidifying the ceasefire."

Israeli strikes on Lebanon have killed 380 people since a ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war began on April 17, Lebanon's health ministry told AFP on Tuesday.

A ministry official said that "380 people, including 22 children and 39 women, have been killed in strikes on Lebanon since the ceasefire came into effect", out of a total of around 2,900 people killed since the war erupted on March 2.

The Israeli military said on Tuesday its troops had conducted a days-long raid in the area of the Litani river in south Lebanon, where exchanges of fire with Hezbollah persist despite a ceasefire.

In a statement, the military said that over the past week, troops had conducted a "special operation to clear terrorist infrastructure from the Litani area and establish operational control in the area".

Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem said Tuesday that his group will not stop fighting and will turn the battlefield into "hell" for Israel.

"We will keep fighting, we will respond to all violations, and we will not return to how things were before March 2," Qassem said.

The Ministry of Information and UNESCO in collaboration with Tele Liban, have announced the launch of the national media campaign "Share Responsibly: Be Part of the Truth, Not Misinformation".

Funded by UNIFIL, this nationwide initiative aims at addressing the growing challenge of misinformation and disinformation and promoting responsible information sharing across all platforms.

Israeli strikes on a town in southern Lebanon killed six people and wounded seven others, state media said Tuesday, as fighting continued despite a ceasefire agreement.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported that Israeli strikes Monday night hit a house in Kfardounine, a town about 95 kilometers from capital Beirut.

The Israeli military said on Monday it had sentenced two soldiers to imprisonment after one of them was photographed placing a cigarette in the mouth of a statue of the Virgin Mary in southern Lebanon.

Trump quickly rejected a new Iranian proposal sent Sunday to him via Pakistan. In it, Iran demanded war reparations from the U.S., full Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, an end to sanctions and the release of its seized assets abroad, Iranian state television reported.

Iran also called for an immediate end to the war, including the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah — which have repeatedly exchanged fire though technically in a ceasefire. That conflict has seen Israeli strikes in Lebanon, its occupation of Lebanese territory and deadly Hezbollah attacks, including one that killed another Israeli soldier, the Israeli military said Monday.
