"Israel's military has killed six people in an air raid on a house in southern Lebanon, the latest violation of a United States-brokered truce that has only ever existed on paper. The Israeli attack on Monday night targeted a house in the Kfar Dounin municipality, some 100km (60 miles) south of Beirut, Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) said. Seven wounded were brought to hospitals in the coastal city of Tyre, the agency added."
"The air raid is the latest in a near-daily series of Israeli attacks despite an April 16 ceasefire, during which Hezbollah has also exchanged fire. Israel's air force says it has targeted more than 1,100 sites in Lebanon since the so-called truce began. Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health reports that more than 500 people have been killed during the truce, bringing the total death toll since Israel's invasion and bombardment of Lebanon began on March 2 to more than 2,800."
"Israel showed no signs of slowing its military operations on Tuesday, issuing a series of new forced displacement orders and threats of further attacks. In statements on X, the Israeli military's Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee told residents to flee from the town of Sohmor in the Bekaa valley, and the towns of Arzoun, Tayr Debba, Bazouriyeh and al-Haush in southern Lebanon. The Israeli military also blew up a water pumping station in the town of Deir Mimas, which overlooks the Litani River, and demolished homes in Bint Jbeil, NNA reported."
"Al Jazeera's Obaida Hitto, reporting from Tyre in southern Lebanon, said there has been a significant escalation in attacks in the last week. However, many residents who previously returned to their towns after earlier displacement say they are unwilling to leave again. The people are concerned that this is going to continue. But they are not going to be leaving the south, Hitto said."
An Israeli air raid killed six people in a house in Kfar Dounin municipality in southern Lebanon, with seven wounded taken to hospitals in Tyre. The attack occurred days before Israeli and Lebanese officials were scheduled to meet in Washington, and it followed a US-brokered truce that has existed only on paper. Israeli attacks have continued nearly daily since an April 16 ceasefire, with Hezbollah also exchanging fire. Israel says it has targeted more than 1,100 sites in Lebanon since the truce began. Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health reports more than 500 deaths during the truce and more than 2,800 since March 2. Israel issued new forced displacement orders, threatened further attacks, blew up a water pumping station near the Litani River, and demolished homes in Bint Jbeil. Many residents are reluctant to leave again.
