At least three Israeli strikes hit Beirut's southern suburbs on Monday, hours after the Israeli army issued a warning for residents of the area to evacuate.

Live broadcasts showed clouds of smoke over the southern suburbs, which are considered a Hezbollah stronghold and have not been hit since Friday night.

U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday that his envoys held talks with a senior official in the Iranian leadership and claimed the parties are in agreement on many points.

Trump walked back his threat to strike Iran's power plants on Monday, citing productive negotiations.

An Israeli strike on Hazmieh east of Beirut killed at least one person, Lebanon's health ministry said, the second strike on the residential Christian area in the ongoing Israel-Hezbollah war.

The Israeli military said around the same time that it had "struck an IRGC Quds Force terrorist in Beirut", referring to the foreign operations arm of Iran's Revolutionary Guards.

Hezbollah targeted Monday Israeli troops and bases in northern Israel and in southern Lebanon with attack drones, rockets and advanced missiles.

The group said in separate statements that it targeted troops near Alma al Shaab, al-Taybeh, Markaba, Dhayra, and Maroun al-Ras with attack drones, rockets and advanced missiles. It also targeted several times al-Manara, Metula and the Zari'it barracks in north Israel, and troops inside Lebanon near al-Naqoura's municipality.

President Joseph Aoun met Monday with Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam.

The talks stressed the importance of "national unity and solidarity", as Berri said he is "reassured by the presence of the president."

Israeli army chief Eyal Zamir has approved plans for the "next phase" of the war against Hezbollah, saying the battle against the Lebanese Iran-backed group "has only just begun."

Israeli army chief Eyal Zamir said Saturday that "the Northern Command has approved plans to continue the fighting" against Hezbollah.

"There will be no more containment, only initiative and attack," Zamir said.

After visiting Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi in Bkirki, U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa affirmed that "the United States is concerned with peace prevailing in Lebanon and for it to be independent and free from war."

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Thursday urged U.S. President Donald Trump in a CNN interview to help end the Israeli war on Lebanon, reaffirming the country's readiness to "enter into immediate negotiations with Israel."

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea accused Hezbollah on Thursday of trying to drag its opponents, including the LF, into a civil war. "Noone will clash with them except the army and the security forces," he told MTV in an interview.

Geagea said Hezbollah's battle is "domestic" and removing Israel is a fake slogan the group uses. He said Hezbollah's priorities are tied exclusively to Iran, even if they might occasionally align with Lebanon's interests, and called for the arrest of Mahmoud Qmati after his recent statements against the satte and for ending Hezbollah's participation in the government after "its coup against the government's decisions".
