Lebanese media reports Israeli strike on car in town near Beirut

On 3 June 2026, Israeli strikes in Lebanon killed nine people and reached the outskirts of Beirut, according to Al Jazeera and France 24. Lebanese media reported an Israeli strike on a car in a town near Beirut. A drone strike killed a paramedic in southern Lebanon despite the ceasefire, and another report said a paramedic and six others were killed in Israeli attacks.

Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel, which Reuters described as a test of a US-mediated deal, and published a video of an attack on Israeli troops at Beaufort Castle. Hezbollah rejected the latest ceasefire proposal. The Israeli military chief said there was “no ceasefire for our forces” in Lebanon, and the Israeli military said it destroyed Hezbollah weapons and explosives storage sites. Euronews reported that the US and Iran exchanged new strikes as ceasefire talks faltered over Israel’s military actions in Lebanon.
