Israeli strikes kill 32 in Lebanon amid US-Iran ceasefire tensions
Israeli airstrikes kill 24 civilians in Lebanon hours after US-Iran ceasefire deal
Israeli strikes kill five in Lebanon hours after US-brokered ceasefire
Israeli airstrikes killed at least 24 civilians in southern and eastern Lebanon on Saturday, hours after the United States and Iran announced a ceasefire framework aimed at halting the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
The strikes, which began before dawn and continued into the afternoon, targeted areas near Nabatieh and Baalbek, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency. At least 16 people were killed in the southern city of Nabatieh alone, while five others died in strikes on Baalbek in the east. The Israeli military confirmed it had struck Hezbollah positions in response to rocket fire that killed four Israeli soldiers and destroyed three Merkava tanks in an ambush by the Iran-backed militant group.
The violence erupted despite a US-mediated agreement, announced on Wednesday, in which Israel and Hezbollah had pledged to observe a renewed ceasefire. The framework, brokered alongside a broader US-Iran deal, was intended to de-escalate tensions that have threatened to spiral into a wider regional conflict. Yet within hours of the ceasefire’s reported activation, Israeli strikes resumed, deepening concerns over the fragility of the arrangement.
Lebanese officials condemned the attacks as a blatant violation of the truce. “Israel’s actions demonstrate a complete disregard for international calls for restraint,” said a spokesperson for Lebanon’s caretaker government. The strikes also drew sharp criticism from human rights organizations, which warned of a humanitarian crisis in southern Lebanon, where infrastructure and medical facilities have been repeatedly damaged in recent weeks.
Hezbollah, meanwhile, claimed its fighters had repelled Israeli advances in southern Lebanon, where clashes have intensified since the group launched over 50 projectiles at Israeli forces on Friday. The Israeli military acknowledged the losses but insisted its operations were “proportionate and necessary” to degrade Hezbollah’s military capabilities.
The renewed hostilities have raised fears that the US-Iran ceasefire, which hinges on an end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon, may collapse before it fully takes hold. Analysts suggest that both sides are testing the limits of the agreement, with hardliners in Israel and Hezbollah seeking to undermine diplomatic efforts. The death toll in Lebanon now exceeds 200 since the latest round of violence began in May, according to UN estimates.
International mediators, including the European Union, have urged immediate restraint, while the United Nations Security Council is scheduled to convene an emergency session on Monday to address the crisis. The Biden administration, which brokered the US-Iran deal, has called on all parties to respect the ceasefire and return to negotiations.
