BEIRUT, May 28 (Reuters) - An Israeli strike hit a building in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital on Thursday, the first strike to hit near Beirut in weeks amid a ceasefire that has failed to halt fighting between Israeli troops and Hezbollah in south Lebanon.

Israeli drone strikes near Beirut kill six, targeting vehicles amid ongoing tensions with Hezbollah and recent diplomatic efforts.

The attacks complicated an already delicate moment as President Trump and Iran appeared to be edging toward finalizing a framework peace agreement.

Israel’s air force carried out an airstrike on a southern suburb of Lebanon’s capital on Thursday afternoon, the Israeli military said, further straining a fragile ceasefire a day before crucial negotiations in Washington.

Two people were killed and four others wounded ⁠in the strike, which targeted an apartment in Dahiyeh, state news agency NNA reported.
