Israel's gunfire killed 2 people in south Lebanon on Tuesday, Lebanon's Civil Defence and Health Ministry said.

There has been a pause in fighting, which is the longest yet in the war that started on March 2.

Many cars were on the highway south as people returned home despite concerns about the ceasefire.

The war is affecting talks to resolve the US-Iran conflict, as Tehran wants Israel to stop attacks in Lebanon.

This was the first time people died since Sunday.

Israeli soldiers shot at a group of people near a bulldozer in the al-Deir neighbourhood of Nabatieh al-Fawqa.

The Israeli military said its troops fired warning shots at people on a bulldozer and motorcycle that entered the area they hold in south Lebanon.

Iran and US officials left for talks as Israeli strikes put the truce in doubt.

The Israeli military said it shot again to remove the threat after the group kept approaching.

The Israeli military said it struck armed terrorists who posed a threat to soldiers in the Ali al-Taher ridge area.

Hezbollah said 2 civilians were killed in the Nabatieh al-Fawqa shooting and accused Israel of breaking the ceasefire.

Hezbollah did not say if it would respond.

Iran's ambassador to the UN said any violation of the agreement in Lebanon would create challenges for peace talks.

He said the US should use its influence to make Israel stop attacking Lebanon.

The US and Iran agreed to create a team to ensure the end of hostilities in Lebanon.

US officials told Lebanon's president they were committed to forming the team to solidify the ceasefire.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said troops had the freedom to stop any threat from Hezbollah.

An Israeli drone strike hit a parked car in south Lebanon with no one hurt.

Nabatieh and the Ali al-Taher ridge have seen heavy fighting in recent weeks.

Israeli attacks have forced 1.2 million people from their homes in Lebanon.

The mayor of Nabatieh al-Fawqa said residents were returning to check on their homes but were being told to stay away.

People were scared, the mayor said.

Israeli strikes have killed 18 people in Lebanon, and US-Iran talks were postponed.

Many families returned to the southern town of Zrarieh, a local official said.

More people are expected to return depending on what happens in the meetings.

In the village of Toura, 60-70% of residents have returned, but some have no homes.

Israeli attacks in Lebanon have killed over 4,100 people, including 773 women, children, and health workers.

The attacks have also forced 1.2 million people from their homes.

US Vice-President JD Vance said talks with Iranian officials set a good foundation for a deal to end the war.

Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire, according to regional sources.

At least 32 Israeli soldiers and 4 civilians have been killed in the fighting with Hezbollah.

The deal between the US and Iran requires an immediate end to military operations, including in Lebanon.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said troops would stay in Lebanon as long as necessary to stop any threat.
