At least five people were killed in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting areas in southern Lebanon, local authorities and security sources reported today. The strikes, which occurred in the early hours, hit multiple locations in the region, escalating tensions in an already volatile area.
According to Lebanon’s Ministry of Health, the casualties included civilians, though specific details about the victims’ identities have not been released.
The airstrikes reportedly caused significant damage to infrastructure, with residential buildings and roads among the areas affected.
Security sources indicated that the Israeli military was targeting suspected militant positions, though no official statement from Israel has confirmed the precise objectives of the operation. The strikes come amid ongoing cross-border tensions between Israel and armed groups in southern Lebanon.
A ceasefire was reached in November 2024, but Israeli forces have conducted near-daily attacks in southern Lebanon, claiming to target activities of the Hezbollah group.
