Israeli strikes kill 14, injure 37 in southern Lebanon despite ceasefire

At least 14 people, including two children, were killed, and 37 others injured on Sunday in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting multiple areas in southern Lebanon, marking an escalation since a ceasefire took effect on April 17.

The figures were reported by the Lebanese Health Ministry and the state news agency, which also said the Israeli army carried out demolitions targeting homes and infrastructure between the towns of Yaroun and Bint Jbeil in the south.

The ministry said the strikes killed 14 people, including two children and two women, and wounded 37 others, including three women.

In the Tyre district, Israeli forces carried out an airstrike on the town of Burj Qallawiyeh, alongside gunfire toward the towns of Mansouri and Bayt al-Sayyad in the same area, the news agency said.

In the Nabatieh district, an Israeli strike targeted the town of Kfar Tebnit, while artillery shelling hit the town of Arnoun and the Ali al-Taher forest area.
