BEIRUT - Israel launched strikes on southern Lebanon on Saturday, killing at least seven people, authorities here said, in response to rockets fired from across the border earlier in the day. The exchange was the largest since the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah went into effect late last year. The ceasefire remained in place, but the action fueled concerns that Israel’s resumption of war in Gaza this week could imperil the truce in Lebanon.

Israel said Sunday it has stopped the entry of all aid into Gaza, amid an escalating standoff over the future of a ceasefire deal with Hamas. The first phase of the ceasefire — which halted fighting for six weeks and brought several exchanges of Israeli hostages for detained Palestinians — expired Saturday, and Israel and Hamas have not agreed on a second phase.
