explosive device exploded inside a booby-trapped building in the southern Lebanese village of Majdal Selem.<\/p>\n<p>According to Lebanon\u2019s Health Ministry, since March 2, Israeli attacks have killed at least 4,333 people and wounded 12,250 others.<\/p>\n<p>Reporting from Beirut, Al Jazeera\u2019s Zeina Khodr said Majdal Selem remained under Israeli military occupation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe village lies close to al-Mansouri \u2026There is no Hezbollah presence there, making this a notable incident,\u201d Khodr said.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"forced-displacement-orders\">Forced displacement orders<\/h2>\n<p>Following the explosion, the Israeli military announced on Telegram it had begun carrying out what it described as \u201cprecise strikes\u201d across southern Lebanon, saying the attacks were launched in response to a \u201cblatant violation of the ceasefire by the Hezbollah terrorist organisation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli army\u2019s Arabic-language spokesperson, Ella Waweya, also issued renewed forced displacement orders for residents of al-Mansouri, urging them to head north before further strikes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"1777\" data-end=\"1880\">Khodr said that although hostilities have eased in recent weeks, the situation remains highly volatile.<\/p>\n<div class=\"container--ads in-article-ads\">\n<div

There is also concern that any broader regional escalation could quickly spill over into Lebanon, reigniting a conflict that many believe has never truly ended despite the reduction in fighting,\u201d Khodr added.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:block;position:relative;min-width:0px;max-width:770px\">\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"talks-continue\">Talks continue<\/h2>\n<p>The second day of negotiations between Israel and Lebanon concluded in the Italian capital, Rome, on Wednesday. The talks are expected to run through Thursday, as Beirut pushes for a phased Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and an end to Israeli attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The talks follow a US-sponsored framework agreed in June, under which Israel and Lebanon committed to the disarmament of Hezbollah, the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces, and the deployment of the Lebanese army to the south of the country in test areas known as \u201cpilot zones\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah has repeatedly rejected direct talks with Israel and has refused to surrender its weapons.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Hezbollah\u2019s leader Naim Qassem said that the talks would bring \u201cnothing but shame, humiliation\u201d and successive concessions for Lebanon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ListenListen (3 mins) Save Click here to share on social media share-nodes Share facebookxwhatsapp-strokecopylink googleAdd Al Jazeera on Googleinfo A Lebanese man checks a destroyed house in the village of Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh, south Lebanon, Wednesday, August 5, 2026 [Mohammed Zaatari\/AP] By Al Jazeera Staff and AFP Published On 5 Aug 20265 Aug 2026 Israeli strikes [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
