Israeli strikes in Lebanon kill at least 12 people, intensifying rising regional tensions

Israeli airstrikes targeted Hezbollah and Hamas command centers, killing at least 10 and wounding 50 in the Bekaa Valley and southern Lebanon, amid rising regional tensions and ceasefire violations.

  • On Friday, Israeli strikes killed at least 10 people and wounded 50 in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley and other areas, marking some of the deadliest attacks in recent weeks.
  • The Israel Defense Forces said it struck Hezbollah command centres in the Baalbek area to hit weapons storage and disrupt attacks, framing the raids as responses to repeated ceasefire violations and targeting Hamas operatives.
  • In Ain al-Hilweh, a strike killed two people near Sidon on Friday, Hamas said two members died but rejected the claim a command centre was hit, calling it a "flimsy pretext".
  • A Hezbollah source said a senior official was killed, and Lebanon's government filed a UN complaint last month as leaders warned broader strikes risk destabilisation amid US threats to Iran.
  • The UN noted more than 10,000 attacks since the truce, and the IDF reports over 1,200 raids striking hundreds of Hezbollah sites, while the UN rights office verified at least 108 civilian casualties last year.
