Israeli jets have struck Beirut’s southern suburbs in the third such attack since a ceasefire began in late November.

The attack raised concerns that the cease-fire that ended a war between Israel and Lebanese militants might be in jeopardy.

The attack "raised concerns that the ceasefire that ended a war between Israel and Lebanese militants might be in jeopardy," The New York Times said. The U.S. has pushed Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah, but Aoun has cautioned that the "delicate" issue must be handled carefully to maintain peace. Hezbollah has insisted it will not give up its weapons.
