Iran demands Israeli withdrawal to pre-war positions in Lebanon

Since March, Israeli forces have advanced more than 10 kilometres into Lebanese territory, marking the deepest incursion since 2000.

Since March 2, Israel has conducted large-scale attacks in Lebanon that have killed more than 3,500 people, wounded over 10,600 others, and displaced well over 1 million people, according to official figures.

Regional tensions have escalated since late February after the US and Israel launched air strikes on Iran, killing more than 3,000 people.

Tehran, in retaliation, has targeted Israel and Gulf countries that host US bases and closed the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for global shipping.

A Pakistan-brokered ceasefire took effect on April 8, and efforts to reach a broader agreement have continued since then.
