IDF Strikes South Lebanon After Ceasefire Breach as US-Iran Hormuz Deal Nears (Aug 05, 1549 UTC, 1849 Israel) (Evening Edition)
The IDF launched precise strikes in southern Lebanon after what it called a 'blatant violation' of the ceasefire by Hezbollah, issuing an evacuation warning for Al-Mansouri and hitting Tibnin, where one person was killed and 11 wounded. The US, Iran, and Oman are reportedly close to an interim deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with President Trump saying an announcement could come as early as Wednesday. Houthis claimed a missile strike on a Saudi oil tanker off Yanbu, and a vessel was reported sunk near Yemen's Al Mukha.
