At least 9 killed as Israel pounds Lebanon despite truce

The Israeli military carried out strikes across southern Lebanon on Saturday, killing at least nine people according to Lebanese health authorities, including a seven-year-old girl in Saksakiyeh and a 12-year-old in Nabatieh, amid continued violations of a three-week-old ceasefire. Hezbollah responded with drone attacks on northern Israel, wounding three soldiers, while a Hezbollah lawmaker warned of "a new phase" of resistance, as direct talks between Lebanese and Israeli representatives are scheduled for Washington next week.

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

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.

More than half of Lebanon's population depends on aid, EU official says

More than half of Lebanon's population depends on humanitarian aid, a European Union official said on Friday, as Israel continues its attacks on the country despite a ceasefire in the two-month-long war on Lebanon. "At present, more than three million people, meaning more than half of the population here in Lebanon, depend on humanitarian aid to survive," EU crisis management chief Hadja Lahbib told reporters after meeting Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in Beirut.

Israel - Hezbollah clashes : Latest developments

An Israeli airstrike on Zellaya in Lebanon's West Bekaa killed at least four people, including the town's mayor and three family members, on Wednesday, prompting the Israeli army to issue evacuation warnings for a dozen towns in southern Lebanon and announce strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure sites. Both Israel and Hezbollah have accused each other of violating the ceasefire framework in force since April 17, with Hezbollah claiming responsibility for operations targeting Israeli forces and northern Israel in response to what it characterizes as Israeli breaches.
