Israeli strikes targeted Wednesday seven cars, three of them on a major highway linking Beirut to southern Lebanon, killing 8 people, including 2 children.

The attacks on the coastal highway south of Beirut 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.

Hezbollah launched Tuesday a massive drone swarm attack on north Israel, Israeli media said, adding that it is the first time multiple drones target a single target inside Israel.

An Israeli security source described the attack as the most significant drone attack on Israel to date.

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."

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.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Israel has destroyed "more than 90%" of Hezbollah's rockets and ballistic missiles, but noted that that "still leaves them with thousands of rockets and some ballistic missiles."

Lebanese leaders urged the U.S. ambassador to Beirut to pressure Israel to halt its attacks as it pounded the country on Monday despite a truce in the Israel-Hezbollah war.

Lebanese authorities on Monday also raised the overall death toll from Israeli strikes since March 2 to 2,869 people.
