Prime Minister Nawaf Salam arrived Tuesday in Luxembourg for a meeting of EU foreign ministers at the European Council building.

Salam will meet later in the day with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris, as a fragile 10-day truce holds between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Hezbollah announced it will hold mass funerals in south Lebanon on Tuesday for 44 fighters killed during more than six weeks of war with Israel.

The burials come after Israel and Lebanon entered into a 10-day ceasefire on Friday announced by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Israeli troops were demolishing Tuesday houses, schools and buildings in the southern border towns of Khiam, Bint Jbeil, Beit Leef, Shamaa, al-Bayyada and Naqoura, in an area in south Lebanon below what Israel called the "Yellow Line".

The Israeli military also dropped thermal balloons overnight over border villages. On Tuesday, Israeli warplanes fired two missiles on Wadi al-Hujeir in south Lebanon near the "Yellow Line".

The U.N. Security Council on Monday condemned the recent killing of a French peacekeeper in Lebanon, whose death France has blamed on Hezbollah.

The Frenchman was killed and three others wounded when their unit was ambushed on Saturday as it headed to a U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) outpost cut off from the fighting between Hezbollah and Israel.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Tuesday that his country's campaign in Lebanon relied both on military and diplomatic pressure to disarm Iran-allied Hezbollah.

"The overarching goal of the campaign in Lebanon is to disarm Hezbollah and remove the threat to the northern communities (of Israel), through a combination of military and diplomatic measures," Katz said during a ceremony marking Israel's national day of remembrance for fallen soldiers and victims of terror.

Lebanese official media said an Israeli strike hit a town in the country's south on Monday despite a 10-day ceasefire in force between Israel and Hezbollah.

The state-run National News Agency said that "an enemy drone targeted the vicinity of the Litani River in the town of Qaqaiyat al-Jisr," without immediately reporting casualties.

France is investigating allegations that two Lebanese banks transferred billions of dollars out of the country despite strict capital controls during a financial crisis, a source close to the case and lawyers said Monday.

Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, on Monday expressed “profound indignation and unreserved condemnation” of the defacing of a statue of Jesus Christ by an Israeli soldier in Lebanon, saying the act “constitutes a grave affront to the Christian faith.”

Israel says it has established a "Yellow Line" in south Lebanon near the border, where its forces are operating despite a 10-day ceasefire with Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri confirmed Monday to the Asharq al-Awsat newspaper that "Washington is making an effort to extend the ceasefire in Lebanon."
