Four Killed in Israeli Strikes on Lebanon
Lebanon's official National News Agency reported that the strike hit a building in the Jal al-Bahr area near Hiram Hospital, claiming four lives. Separately, multiple strikes hammered a medical position belonging to health authority personnel in the town of Shaqra, wounding several people.
Artillery shells also rained down on the areas of Hanniyeh and Mansouri, while additional airstrikes were reported across the towns of Haddatha, Rab Thalathin, the Abbasiya area, Kafra, and Jmeijmeh, according to the National News Agency.
The strikes unfolded just hours after US President Donald Trump announced he had agreed "to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks." However, any expectation that the ceasefire might cool hostilities in Lebanon was swiftly dispelled — Netanyahu's office stated unequivocally that the two-week ceasefire "does not include Lebanon."
Israel has sustained a dual air and ground campaign in southern Lebanon since Hezbollah launched a cross-border attack on March 2, pressing forward despite a ceasefire that had officially taken effect in November 2024.
The human toll has been severe. Lebanese authorities report that at least 1,497 people have been killed and a further 4,639 injured since Israeli operations escalated — figures that continue to climb with each successive wave of strikes.
