More than a dozen reported killed in Israeli attacks on south Lebanon

NEWS SUMMARY

Israeli air raids killed at least 20 people across southern Lebanon on Friday, including a civil defence rescuer in Toura (Tyre district) and two young men recovered from rubble in Blat (Marjayoun district), according to Lebanese state media, despite an April 17 ceasefire framework. The escalation precedes Washington talks scheduled for May 14–15, where Lebanon's government aims to "solidify" the ceasefire and address prisoner releases and Israeli withdrawal, while Hezbollah opposes direct negotiations and accuses Israel of violations.
