Israeli strikes in Lebanon have killed at least eight people, including a dentist and his two children, Lebanese media reported on Tuesday, despite an ongoing ceasefire.
The renewed attacks came shortly after US President Donald Trump held a furious phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, urging him to stop attacking and occupying Lebanese territories, according to an Axios report.
Trump noted that he had used intermediaries to communicate with Hezbollah and that he had received assurances that “all shooting will stop” by both sides.
In one of the Israeli strikes, a dentist and his two children were killed when an Israeli drone struck their vehicle on the Nabatieh–Khardali road in southern Lebanon, the National News Agency (NNA) reported, citing developments following Trump’s announcement.
Another drone attack killed two Syrian workers inside a plant nursery where they worked in the town of Jebchit.
Two more people were killed in drone strikes on a motorcycle in Toul and a car in Ansar, the agency said.
An Israeli drone also hit a car at the Harouf-Toul roundabout, killing the driver.

Israeli jets also launched an air strike on a Lebanese Civil Defence centre on the Masil road in the town of Kfar Sir, destroying the facility.
The centre had been evacuated several days earlier, the NNA stated.
Separately, Israeli jets carried out a dawn air strike on the town of Mansouri in the Tyre district, coinciding with artillery shelling in the area.
Attacks also hit a house in Tyre's al-Hosh, destroying it and damaging several nearby homes. Two wounded people were retrieved from the rubble and were hospitalised.
Meanwhile, NNA said the death toll from Monday’s strike on Jabal Amel Hospital in Tyre has risen to four, with 50 others injured.
The attack caused significant damage to hospital wards, the parking garage, and nearby buildings.
Israel has continued its invasion of Lebanon despite a truce that took effect on April 17, which was later extended for 45 days after indirect US-mediated talks.
According to Lebanon's Health Ministry, more than 3,400 people have been killed in attacks since March 2, when Israel initiated a new wave of strikes on Lebanon.
