Israeli airstrike kills 4 in Lebanon; U.N. demands answers over Gaza aid workers found in mass grave
An Israeli airstrike killed four people in Beirut early Tuesday, the Lebanese Health Ministry said, rocking an already shaky ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
Israeli operations in Lebanon continued on a near-daily basis last week. On Friday, Israel struck in Dahiyeh, Beirut for the first time since the November 27 ceasefire, destroying a Hezbollah drone storage facility.
Israel’s army said it hit a Hezbollah drone storage facility in Dahiyeh, which it called a militant stronghold.
An already fragile ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah appeared to be on shakier ground after rockets fired from Lebanon into northern Israel triggered Israeli airstrikes in the suburbs of Beirut.

Cyprus Mail on MSNIsraeli airstrike kills three in Beirut suburb as Hezbollah ceasefire frays, Lebanon calls attack a ‘dangerous warning’At least three people were killed and seven wounded in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs today, the Lebanese health ministry said,
The leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah group has warned that if Israel’s attacks on Lebanon continue and the Lebanese state does not act to stop them, the group will eventually resort to other alternatives.
Fears are mounting that the months-long ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah is at risk of collapse, as conflicts elsewhere in the region expand.
In a statement issued by his office, Salam condemned the strike as "a clear breach of the arrangements of the cessation of hostilities" and a "flagrant violation of United Nations Resolution 1701", a Security Council decision that ended a 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah and served as the foundation of the November truce.
