“When two drones are shot into the desert and drop harmlessly, you don’t have to knock down buildings in Beirut. They could behave better, and frankly they could do a better job,” Trump said in a press conference at the G7 summit in France on Wednesday.
Trump on Thursday urged Israel and other Middle Eastern countries to stick to the truce.
“We expect a complete Ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Israel. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump said on his Truth Social network.
Israel has said it will not abide by the US-Iran peace deal.
On Thursday, Israel killed three Lebanese people in its attacks.
Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported that “an enemy drone targeted a car” in the Kfar Tibnit area, killing two people.
In the neighbouring village of Zebdine, another drone killed one more person, NNA said.
Israel’s military, meanwhile, announced the killing of one of its soldiers the night before in an incident in south Lebanon that also left seven others wounded.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres’ spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, said that peacekeepers in Lebanon had also reported exchanges of fire on Thursday.
“So far today, 143 trajectories of projectiles were observed. Of these, 119 were attributed to the Israel Defense Forces (Israeli army), with the remainder to Hezbollah,” Dujarric said at a daily briefing.
“Yesterday, 364 projectile launches were observed, of which 330 were attributed to the IDF (Israeli army) and 34 to Hezbollah.”
