Despite the ceasefire extension, the Israeli army continues its attacks on southern Lebanon. The death toll in attacks around Sur, Sidon, and Nabatieh has risen to 17, with many others injured.
The Israeli army continues its attacks on southern Lebanon despite the ceasefire extension. Throughout the day, the death toll in attacks around Sur, Sidon, and Nabatieh has risen to 17.
According to Lebanon's official news agency NNA, Israeli warplanes and drones targeted numerous towns during the day. The attacks were concentrated around Sur, with debris removal efforts ongoing in some areas.
Heaviest Losses in Tayr Diba near Sur
In the attacks around Sur, 9 people were killed and 7 injured in the town of Tayr Diba. In the attack on the town of Deir Kanun al-Nahr, 3 people died and 3 were injured.
One person was reported killed and five injured in an attack on the Mesakin Shaabiyeh neighborhood of Sur city. Following the attacks, debris removal continues in the damaged areas of Tayr Diba.
Sidon, Nabatieh, and Kafrdunin Also Targeted
Israeli warplanes also launched an airstrike on the town of Kafrdunin, affiliated with Sur city. Two people were reported killed in the town of Sadikayn near Nabatieh, and two others in the center of Sidon city.
Due to the attacks ongoing since morning, the death toll in southern Lebanon was initially reported as 6, but with new attacks during the day, the total has risen to 17. The number of injured has also increased in various locations.
Attacks Continue Despite Ceasefire Agreements
The Israeli army launched intense airstrikes on Lebanon on March 2 and occupied many towns in the south. The Lebanese government announced that over one million people have been displaced during this period.
Despite the ceasefire that came into effect on April 17 and was extended for 45 days as of May 17, attacks continue. On April 24, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a three-week extension of the temporary ceasefire.
Following the third round of talks mediated by the U.S. on May 14-15, it was decided to extend the ceasefire by 45 days. However, the recent Israeli attacks indicate that tensions on the ground persist.
The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that 3,666 people have died in Israeli attacks since March 2. On June 3, the U.S. State Department announced an agreement on a broad ceasefire, conditional on Israel and Lebanon fully stopping Hezbollah's attacks and withdrawing all forces south of the Litani River. Hezbollah, however, declared it rejects this conditional ceasefire.
