In Beirut's Hezbollah-controlled suburbs, war with Israel comes at a price for residents
AI Summary
Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israel on June 8, the first direct strike since an April ceasefire agreement. Trump called Netanyahu to warn against further retaliation, prompting Israel to pause planned retaliatory strikes. Trump claims a nuclear deal could be reached within days, though observers warn that deep differences over war strategy and negotiation timelines threaten to unravel peace efforts.
