Israeli attacks kill at least four in southern Lebanon

"Strikes come after forced displacement warnings by Israel for nine towns in southern and eastern Lebanon. Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon have killed at least four people and wounded eight others, according to Lebanese media. The state National News Agency (NNA) reported injuries to two medics as they rushed to offer aid to victims of the latest attacks by the Israeli military in violation of the official ceasefire."

"The medics were wounded when an air strike hit a civil defence team affiliated with the Islamic Health Society in Toul in Nabatieh, as they responded to an earlier attack, NNA said. Two men were killed and five others injured in an air raid on the town of Ebba in Nabatieh. NNA added that a drone strike on a car in the town of Haris in Bint Jbeil district killed one man and injured his brother."

"Ahead of the attacks, the Israeli army issued a forced displacement threat for nine towns in southern and eastern Lebanon. They are: Rihan, Jarjou, Kfar Rumman, Nmairiyeh, Arabsalim and Harouf in Nabatieh, and Jmayjmeh, Mashghara and Qlayaa in eastern Lebanon. Posting on X, army spokesman Avichay Adraee urged residents there to evacuate due to what he called Hezbollah infrastructure in the towns."

"Israeli forces continue to exchange fire with Hezbollah and carry out attacks, despite the ceasefire which began on April 17 and later extended to mid-May. Since March 2, Israeli attacks have killed at least 2,840 people in Lebanon, injured almost 8,700 and displaced more than a million, according to Lebanese figures."

Israeli air and drone strikes hit multiple towns in southern and eastern Lebanon after forced displacement warnings were issued for nine towns. Lebanese media reported at least four deaths and eight injuries, including two medics wounded while responding to an earlier attack. An air strike hit a civil defence team affiliated with the Islamic Health Society in Toul in Nabatieh. Additional casualties were reported in Ebba, Haris, and other locations including Sajd, Kfar Rumman, and Safad al-Battikh. Israeli forces also reported a soldier killed by a Hezbollah-launched drone near the border and three soldiers injured by a booby-trap drone explosion. Fighting continued despite a ceasefire that began April 17 and was later extended to mid-May.
