Israel’s air force conducted airstrikes on a southern Lebanese village, killing at least nine people and injuring others, including women and children, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. These attacks occurred amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, despite a truce established over two months ago. The strikes targeted a building, resulting in eight deaths, including a child and two women, and injured 11 others. Another strike on a car killed a paramedic and wounded two more. Residents expressed fear and determination to remain in their homes despite the violence. The Israeli military claimed the strikes were in retaliation for a Hezbollah drone attack. A U.S.-brokered truce has been repeatedly violated, with ongoing airstrikes and drone attacks. A framework deal for Israeli withdrawal and Hezbollah disarmament has seen little progress, with Hezbollah refusing to disarm north of the Litani River and Israel insisting on complete disarmament.
