An Israeli strike in southern Lebanon killed a paramedic, the state-run National News Agency reported late Wednesday after three other strikes targeted paramedics in south Lebanon in the same day.

The strike on a team from the Hezbollah-affiliated Islamic Health Committee in Zebdine killed a paramedic and wounded another.

Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir criticized on Thursday a ceasefire deal with Lebanon brokered by Washington, calling it a "serious mistake".

"The ceasefire with Lebanon is a serious mistake and the pipe dreams of advisers are dragging the prime minister (Benjamin Netanyahu) to wrong decisions," the minister wrote on X.

The Israeli army carried out airstrikes in south Lebanon on Thursday, hours after Israel and Lebanon agreed to implement a ceasefire.

An Israeli airstrike targeted a vehicle on the Zefta road, while other strikes targeted Kfartebnit, Shehour, Bestat, Kfar Remman, Tebnine, Maaroub, Zawtar, Shoukin, Kafra, Zebdine, Baraashit, Srifa, Harees, Qana, Toul, Harouf, Mayfadoun, Dweir, Deir al-Zahrani, Beit Yahoun, Maarakeh, Adshit, Kfarjoz and al-Mansouri.

Lebanon and Israel agreed early Thursday to "the implementation of a ceasefire."

Below is the full text of a joint statement issued by the U.S., Lebanon and Israel after two days of talks in Washington:

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned on Wednesday that any attack on Lebanese capital Beirut would trigger a "full-scale resumption" of the Middle East war, as Israel pressed its campaign against Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

"Any attack on Beirut will have grave consequences and will lead to a full-scale resumption of the war," the Tasnim news agency quoted Araghchi as telling Lebanon's Al Mayadeen TV. "Our armed forces are ready to strike Israel if it attacks Beirut."

The estimations suggest that Israel will attack Beirut in the coming days, Israeli officials told Israel's Channel 13 on Wednesday, after Hezbollah claimed a rocket attack on north Israel.

"If any violation occurs by Hezbollah, the Israeli army will be able to attack throughout Lebanon, including Beirut," Israel's Channel 14 reported.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu downplayed on Wednesday a row with U.S. President Donald Trump, saying they both were aligned on the goal of disarming Hezbollah in order to achieve peace between Israel and Lebanon.

Trump confirmed in an interview published on Wednesday in the New York Post that he had a tense exchange with Netanyahu two days prior, in which he reportedly berated his close ally with expletives.

U.S. Secretary of State said Wednesday that he hopes the latest round of high-level political talks between Israel and Lebanon will result in a joint statement on ending hostilities.

In testimony before lawmakers that started Wednesday shortly after the Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors to the U.S. began meeting at the State Department for a second day of negotiations, Rubio said the aim of the talks is to "produce a joint statement and an action plan on a track for security in that country, independent from Hezbollah, independent from nefarious influence."

A Lebanese official confirmed to Al-Jazeera on Wednesday that Lebanese-Israeli discussions in the Washington round of negotiations are progressing well and that there is "U.S. understanding of the Lebanese approach."

The source added that the Lebanese delegation is pushing for a comprehensive solution that addresses both the Israeli withdrawal and the extension of state authority in parallel.

Two paramedics were killed on Wednesday in an Israeli strike on the country's south, with at least 130 emergency and health workers now killed since the Israel-Hezbollah war began in March.

A ministry statement said that "the Israeli enemy directly targeted an ambulance belonging to the Risala Scouts Association", which is affiliated with Hezbollah ally the Amal movement, adding that "this resulted in the martyrdom of two paramedics and left a third with highly critical injuries."
