Grampy issues "FIERCE cease-fire DEMAND" to Bibi. "Within hours," Bibi dismisses it "a number of times." ART OF THE DEAL

Israel was issued a fierce demand Friday morning by President Donald Trump that they cease striking Lebanon, but according to reports, it appears to have dismissed Trump’s orders “a number” of times within a matter of hours, resulting in at least one death.

The ongoing two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran was brokered on the condition – according to Tehran – that Israel halt its siege on Lebanon, which Israel invaded last month and has struck repeatedly, displacing more than 1 million people – including 350,000 children – and killing more than 2,000.

And yet, despite both Israel and Lebanon agreeing to the ceasefire, which went into effect on Thursday at 3 p.m., the Lebanese military said “several Israeli attacks” were recorded, as well as “intermittent shelling targeting a number of villages,” per Al Jazeera.

“The Lebanon 24 media outlet has reported that Israeli forces fired a machinegun and an artillery shell towards an ambulance team affiliated with the Islamic Health Authority in Kunin in the Nabatieh Governorate of Southern Lebanon,” Al Jazeera’s report reads. “The news outlet said casualties have been reported.”
