—
Israeli strikes have again rocked southern Lebanon, highlighting the fragility of diplomatic efforts.
Smoke rose Wednesday over Tyre, a coastal city once seen as a refuge from fighting.
The strikes come after historic talks between Lebanese and Israeli officials in Washington.
Israel's military has warned residents to flee, but many have stayed.
An Israeli drone struck a car near Tyre's city center, killing a young woman.
Mourners gathered Wednesday to bury her.
The escalation began when Hezbollah fired rockets toward northern Israel.
More than 2,000 people have been killed in Israeli strikes, according to Lebanon's health ministry.
