Lebanon has suffered the deadliest spillover of the U.S.-Iran conflict since the Lebanese group Hezbollah opened fire in support of Tehran on March 2, triggering an Israeli offensive and invasion of southern Lebanon.
After several ceasefire announcements since April, violence abated significantly last month, as Iran insisted on its demand for a Lebanon ceasefire in talks with the U.S., and as Israel scaled back attacks in Lebanon at Washington's behest.
