Although the ceasefire is officially between Israel and Lebanon, it has not halted the exchanges of violence, as Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group, operates independently of the Lebanese government. This complexity continues to fuel the conflict, with both sides engaging in near-daily attacks.
While the Israeli military has not commented directly on the casualties or specific incidents, it acknowledged targeting over 25 Hezbollah infrastructure sites in southern Lebanon from Monday afternoon to Tuesday afternoon.
In a particularly devastating strike on the village of Deir Qanoun al Nahr in the Tyre province, the Lebanese government reported the deaths of 10 individuals, including three children and three women. The attack also left three people injured, among them a child.
The Lebanese Health Ministry has not disclosed further details regarding the strike, but reports from the state-run National News Agency revealed that the assault demolished a house. Rescue teams later retrieved the bodies of those trapped beneath the rubble.
The ministry provided no further details about the strike but state-run National News Agency said it destroyed a house, leaving several people under the rubble. Their bodies were pulled out later in the day.
According to the ministry, another airstrike — this one on the southern city of Nabatieh — killed four people and wounded 10 others, including two women. A third strike in the nearby village of Kfar Sir killed five people, including one woman.
The latest deaths came a day after the death toll in the latest round of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah surpassed 3000, and two days after the US-brokered truce that has been in place since April 17, was extended for 45 days.
