According to Lebanese authorities, at least 182 people have been killed and 890 injured - figures that are feared to rise - in Wednesday's attacks.

"Any comprehensive agreement for the region must take into account the safety, protection and dignity of the civilian population in Lebanon," the Red Cross wrote in a statement about the devastation and death caused by the attacks.

French President Emmanuel Macron is on the same page.

"These attacks directly threaten the recently concluded ceasefire. Lebanon must inevitably be part of it," Macron writes on X.

After a ceasefire was agreed between the US and Iran on Wednesday night, local time in Sweden, opinions are divided on whether Israel's attacks in Lebanon are part of it. Israel and the US claim that attacks on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon can continue.

"They are not included in the agreement," US President Donald Trump said of Lebanon in an interview with PBS reporter Liz Landers.

Iran and mediator Pakistan, however, believe that the ceasefire also applies to Lebanon.
