Lebanese authorities say Israeli air strikes have killed 47 people. The Israeli military, in turn, reported that four of its soldiers were killed in attacks by Hezbollah.
The fighting escalated just a day after the US and Iran signed a deal to end their conflict, an agreement that also covered the fighting in Lebanon. The two sides traded accusations.
