Israel was issued a fierce demand Friday morning by President Donald Trump that they cease striking Lebanon, but according to reports, it appears to have dismissed Trump’s orders “a number” of times within a matter of hours, resulting in at least one death.The ongoing two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran was brokered on the condition – according to Tehran – that Israel halt its siege on Lebanon, which Israel invaded last month and has struck repeatedly, displacing more than 1 million people – including 350,000 children – and killing more than 2,000.And yet, despite both Israel and Lebanon agreeing to the ceasefire, which went into effect on Thursday at 3 p.m., the Lebanese military said “several Israeli attacks” were recorded, as well as “intermittent shelling targeting a number of villages,” per Al Jazeera.“The Lebanon 24 media outlet has reported that Israeli forces fired a machinegun and an artillery shell towards an ambulance team affiliated with the Islamic Health Authority in Kunin in the Nabatieh Governorate of Southern Lebanon,” Al Jazeera’s report reads.
