Plenty, including plastics.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Health Ministry in Lebanon said that an Israeli airstrike on the southern village of Toura near the port city of Tyre killed four people and wounded eight. Lebanon\u2019s state-run National News Agency report another airstrike near the southeastern village of Kfar Chouba, saying it killed a paramedic with the Lebanese Civil Defense.<\/p>\n<p>The strikes came hours after the Israeli army\u2019s Arabic-language spokesperson issued an evacuation warning to the residents of six villages in Tyre province, including Toura.<\/p>\n<p>In the early afternoon, Hezbollah fired a salvo of rockets toward northern Israel. The Israeli military said it shot down one rocket while the rest fell in open areas without inflicting casualties.<\/p>\n<p>The latest exchange between Israel and Hezbollah, despite a ceasefire that has been in place since April 17, came two days after the first Israeli airstrike on Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs since the ceasefire went into effect.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli military said Thursday it had killed Ahmed Balout, who it identified as a commander in Hezbollah\u2019s elite Radwan Force, along with two other militants. There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p>Israel says it has killed more than 85 Hezbollah militants and struck 180 sites used by the group in the past week, without providing evidence.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>On Friday, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun told a visiting delegation from the European Union that European countries should pressure Israel to commit to the ceasefire and abstain from \u201cdetonating and bulldozing \u201d homes in villages under Israeli occupation.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=2639\">Orange Lutheran baseball shows pitching depth in win over Servite<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Aoun added in comments released by his office that Lebanon is committed to the ceasefire in order to start negotiations that will end the current conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Hadja Lahbib, European Commissioner for Equality, told reporters after the meeting with Aoun that Israel and Hezbollah are taking Lebanon \u201chostage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHezbollah should stop its attacks and disarm, and Israel should put limits to its airstrikes that target and have targeted humanitarian centers,\u201d Lahbib said.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Aoun later met with Simon Karam, the head of the Lebanese delegation to talks with Israel in Washington. The meeting is expected to be held in Washington on Thursday and Friday next week.<\/p>\n<p>The latest war between Israel and Hezbollah began on March 2, when Hezbollah fired rockets into northern Israel, two days after the United States and Israel launched a war on its main backer, Iran. Israel has since carried out hundreds of airstrikes and launched a ground invasion of southern Lebanon, capturing dozens of towns and villages along the border.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Lebanon and Israel held their first direct talks in more than three decades. The two countries have formally been in a state of war since the founding of the state of Israel in 1948.<\/p>\n<p>A 10-day ceasefire declared in Washington went into effect on April 17. The ceasefire was later extended by three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=2638\">Newport Harbor swimmer Connor Ohl breaks 20 seconds again in 50 freestyle<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon have killed at least five people.
