- Iran warned it will bomb Tel Aviv if firing continues in Lebanon
- The warning came hours after a ceasefire announcement in the region
- Tensions remain high between Iran and Israel following recent violence
Iran has warned that it will bomb Tel Aviv if hostilities in southern Lebanon continue. Iran's National Security Council said it will attack Tel Aviv if Israeli firing does not stop in southern Lebanon
“Within a few hours, if the firing does not stop in southern Lebanon, the air and missile unit will bomb Tel Aviv," it said in a statement.
The warning comes as uncertainty persists over the scope of the ceasefire, with Israel and Pakistan offering contradictory positions on whether the agreement extends to Lebanon, where fighting between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah has intensified after the truce was announced.
Israel's heaviest strikes on Lebanon since Hezbollah entered the Middle East war in early March killed hundreds on Wednesday, rattling the uneasy truce between Washington and Tehran less than 48 hours after it came into force.
Israel and Lebanon have technically been at war since Israel was established in 1948, and Netanyahu later stressed that there was no ceasefire between them.
