US President Donald Trump said the Israeli war in Lebanon is "not included" in the ceasefire deal with Iran, adding 'that's a separate skirmish," according to a social media post by PBS News Hour correspondent Liz Landers.

Trump added that it was "because of Hezbollah," in reference to the escalating Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon on Wednesday that killed and wounded more than 800 people in Beirut and the rest of the country.
"That'll get taken care of too," he reportedly said.
