Israeli Strikes Kill 12 in Southern Lebanon Despite Ceasefire Deal

Israeli strikes hit southern Lebanon on Friday, killing at least 12 people including children near Tyre's Jabal Amel Hospital, despite a Washington deal announced June 3-4 that called for Hezbollah to withdraw south of the Litani River and Lebanese army control of security zones. 

Hezbollah rejected the terms as humiliating surrender without full Israeli withdrawal, while Netanyahu said his cabinet hasn't approved it yet, and strikes continued targeting rocket launchers.

 Lebanon's toll since March tops 3,500 dead and 1.2 million displaced, with Berri proposing parallel pullbacks as a way forward amid fading hopes for peace.
