Israel declared on Sunday that it had struck Lebanon in response to Hezbollah rocket fire, as the death toll in the country rose to at least 32 civilians killed in Israeli airstrikes over the past two days, despite a US-Iran ceasefire framework that took effect on Friday. The Israeli army said its operations were retaliatory, while Hezbollah insisted it remained committed to the truce, accusing Israel of violating the agreement from the moment it was signed.

At least eight people, including two children and a Lebanese soldier, were killed in Israeli strikes on Saturday, according to reports . The attacks hit multiple towns and villages across southern Lebanon, including areas near Nabatieh and Baalbek, where 16 civilians were killed on Friday alone . Lebanese authorities reported 28 civilian deaths on Friday, with further casualties reported on Saturday.

Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday that Israeli soldiers in Lebanon were free to act without restriction to eliminate threats, adding that troops remained in position in what Israel refers to as a security zone . The Israeli army claimed Hezbollah had violated the ceasefire, a charge the group denied, stating that Israeli violations began immediately after the US-Iran agreement took effect .

In a rare moment of progress, the IDF Home Front Command announced that all restrictions on northern Israel would be lifted starting at 06:00 AM on Monday, marking 24 hours without any firing by either side . Sources suggested a partial Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon could follow, signaling a potential de-escalation after months of violence.

The escalation has drawn international condemnation, with Colombian President Gustavo Petro urging Israeli citizens to demand their government halt the strikes . Meanwhile, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced on Saturday that it had closed the Strait of Hormuz to all maritime traffic, citing Israeli actions in Lebanon and alleged US violations of the ceasefire as justification for the blockade .

The crisis has also extended beyond Lebanon, with Israeli strikes killing five Palestinians, including four from the same family, in Gaza on Saturday . In Jordan, six men convicted in terrorism and drug cases were executed on Sunday, the first such executions in nine years .

Amid the violence, environmental activist Mona Khalil was killed in an Israeli airstrike on her home in southern Lebanon, where she had worked to protect endangered sea turtle nests . The death toll and ongoing clashes underscore the fragility of the ceasefire and the deepening humanitarian crisis in the region.
