"Israeli airstrikes targeting the vicinity of Jabal Amel Hospital in southern Lebanon's Tyre caused extensive damage on Monday, shortly before US President Donald Trump announced that both sides had agreed to a halt in attacks. Footage from Tuesday shows the damage to the hospital building, surrounding structures, and medical equipment after the airstrike hit an intersection and an adjacent building/car park next to the hospital. "The destruction you see is proof of the barbarity of the Israeli enemy. I don't believe there are missiles and fighters inside a hospital, only wounded and sick people,” said head of the hospital's cardiac catheterisation department, Bassam Mutairik, showing the damage to the ICU. Khalil Ismail Mustafa, a displaced man who was living in the hospital, explained, "There were a series of horrific explosions; all the buildings around us shook." "Suddenly, I was on the brink of death and came back from it. That's what happened to me. I didn't know how I would hold the children and cover them. I couldn't see anything because of the smoke, the glass shards, and the stones." The National News Agency reported on Monday that "an Israeli airstrike occurred near Jabal Amel Hospital," and on Tuesday confirmed that "the preliminary toll from the airstrikes on buildings adjacent to Jabal Amel Hospital in Tyre is 4 martyrs and 50 wounded, with significant damage to the hospital's departments." US President Donald Trump on Monday held a conversation with Netanyahu, which he described as 'fruitful', confirming that a ceasefire agreement had been reached between Israel and Hezbollah, with no mutual attacks to be carried out, and no troops to be sent to Beirut. It appeared that Netanyahu had responded to Trump's call for a ceasefire by Monday evening, writing on his X account: "Tonight, I spoke with President Trump and told him that if Hezbollah does not cease attacking our cities and citizens - Israel will attack terror targets in Beirut. This stance of ours remains unchanged.” On April 15, Donald Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. The truce was later extended for three weeks following talks hosted by Washington, before another 45-day extension was announced in mid-May. Israel has indicated its intention to establish a 'security zone' within Lebanese territory, stretching from the border to the Litani River—an area equivalent to approximately 10 percent of Lebanon's total territory."
