Lebanon death toll reaches 3,000 in fighting between Israel and Hezbollah

Reignited by the US-Israeli conflict with Iran, hostilities between Iran-backed Hizbullah and ​Israel have rumbled on since US president Donald Trump first announced a ceasefire on April 16th, with fighting mostly contained to southern Lebanon.

The attacks on Monday came three days after Lebanese and Israeli officials held talks in Washington DC, which resulted in an agreement to extend their ceasefire for another 45 days.

The U.S.-led mediation has emerged in parallel to diplomacy aimed at ending the U.S.-Iran conflict.
