8 April 2026 in brief

Hours after the US-Iran truce, Israel carried out more than 100 air strikes across Lebanon, and Lebanon's civil defence counted at least 254 killed and 1,165 wounded that day, a toll the government later put at 303. [1] More than 1.2 million people had been displaced in Lebanon, Al Jazeera reported, citing Lebanese figures, and Israel renewed a displacement order covering an area more than 40 km from the border. [1] Hengaw's final war report counted at least 7,650 people killed in Iran up to the ceasefire, including 1,030 civilians. [1][2] Iranian state TV said an oil refinery on Lavan Island was attacked, and Kuwait, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia reported missile and drone attacks after the truce, with Kuwait's defence ministry saying it dealt with 28 drones. [1][2] Netanyahu said the ceasefire did not include Lebanon, while Pakistan's Shehbaz Sharif said it applied everywhere including Lebanon, and the IRGC warned fighting would resume if Israel did not halt its attacks there.
