The latest wave of airstrikes by the Israeli military in southern Lebanon has resulted in civilian casualties, with at least one woman reported dead and multiple others wounded in strikes on Friday. The air raids targeted residential buildings in Nabatieh and other areas using concussion rockets, causing significant explosions heard throughout the vicinity, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) and local health ministry reports. This incident reflects the ongoing military operations despite a ceasefire established last November, designed to halt months of cross-border hostilities, according to aa and middleeasteye.

The Health Ministry of Lebanon reported that the strikes not only killed a woman but also injured at least 15 others, including victims from both the apartment strike and previous bombardments. The Israeli military claims to have targeted Hezbollah sites, alleging that these strikes are necessary to thwart the group’s military capabilities. However, many Lebanese officials, including President Joseph Aoun, have decried these airstrikes as blatant violations of Lebanese sovereignty and international law, according to lemonde and aljazeera.

In a related series of attacks, Israeli drone strikes targeted vehicles in the Tyre district, leading to further casualties. Reports indicate that the Israeli military has conducted airstrikes almost daily since the ceasefire, leading to allegations of nearly 3,000 violations of the ceasefire agreement. This ongoing violence continues to exacerbate humanitarian concerns and has drawn international condemnation. Over 4,000 people have reportedly lost their lives during the protracted conflict that escalated with full-scale war over the past months, highlighting the urgent need for diplomatic intervention, according to latimes, aa, and dawn.
