Both sides have accused each other of violating the deal; Hezbollah fired into Israel for the first time since the truce took effect, and Israel responded with airstrikes.

By Maya Gebeily and Adam Makary BEIRUT (Reuters) -At least nine people were killed and three injured on Monday from Israeli strikes on two southern Lebanese towns, Talousa and Haris, as the Israeli military said it struck dozens of Hezbollah targets throughout Lebanon.

Israel said it struck targets in Lebanon on Monday evening after vowing to retaliate for an attack by Hezbollah on a military post, with both sides accusing each other of violating last week's ceasefire. At least nine people were killed by Israeli strikes on two southern Lebanese villages, according to the country's public health ministry.

The Biden administration has been concerned the fragile ceasefire in Lebanon could unravel after Israel and Hezbollah exchanged fire in recent days, U.S. officials said.

President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a deal brokered by the U.S. "to end the devastating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah."

Israel has been fired upon again from its northern neighbour Lebanon for the first time since the beginning of the ceasefire with the Hezbollah militia, the Israeli military said on Monday. The target of the Hezbollah attack was the Har Dov area directly on the Lebanese border,
