Five Killed in Air Strikes as Israel Flouts Lebanon Ceasefire
Israeli airstrikes and demolitions killed one person and forced residents of 20 towns to move north of the Zahrani River, officials said.
- The Israeli military ordered residents of 20 Lebanese towns, including Nabatieh, to "evacuate your homes immediately and move to the north of the Zahrani River," preceding intensified air raids across the region.
- Israel designated areas south of the Zahrani River as "combat zones" last month, launching heavy strikes; the military previously issued warnings for 24 locations near the coast and Nabatieh.
- Recent Israeli air raids killed five people across southern Lebanon, with casualties in the Tyre district and Nabatieh; strikes hit villages like Rihan and Sujud shortly after the evacuation warnings.
- Fighting persists despite a United States-brokered "ceasefire" intended to enforce a "complete cessation" of fire by Hezbollah, as neither side has respected the truce announced earlier this month.
- Mediators are finalizing a potential deal between the United States and Iran to end the Middle East war, though Israel's continued operations in Lebanon raise fears the actions could scupper negotiations.
