Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon continued after a ceasefire was extended until the beginning of July. At least eight people were killed in the latest strikes, including five killed in Doueir when fighter jets hit the village and flattened several homes. Two people were killed near a hospital in Tibnin, and a drone attack killed a person riding a motorcycle in Burj Shemali. The Red Cross recovered one body on the outskirts of Shebaa. Additional air attacks on Tuesday killed at least 16 people, including women and children. Hezbollah reported clashes with Israeli troops attempting to advance in Haddatha, and fighting in Biyyada and Rashaf. Israeli forces also expanded operations into the western Bekaa Valley, targeting Shia Muslim villages with Hezbollah support.
"Israeli fighter jets struck in the village of Doueir on Wednesday, killing five people and injuring two others, NNA reported. Several homes were flattened in the attack, the agency said. Another Israeli attack killed two people near a hospital in the village of Tibnin, while one person riding a motorcycle was killed in a drone attack on the village of Burj Shemali in the Tyre district, NNA said. The Red Cross said it recovered the body of one person on the outskirts of the town of Shebaa in the Nabatieh governorate."
"Israeli attacks across Lebanon continue despite the United States-mediated ceasefire that was recently extended until the beginning of July. The fresh wave of Israeli attacks came hours after at least 16 people were killed in Israeli air attacks across southern Lebanon on Tuesday. The Health Ministry said three women and three children were among the victims."
"Moreover, the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah said its forces clashed with Israeli troops trying to advance to the centre of the village of Haddatha late last night. The group also reported clashes with Israeli forces in the town of Biyyada and the municipality of Rashaf. Israeli forces continue to expand their military campaign beyond the country's south into the western Bekaa Valley."
"For weeks, the Israeli army has been targeting Muslim Shia majority villages in the western Bekaa Valley where Hezbollah has support, Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr reported. They lie on the road that links the southern front-line villages to the east of the country. Yousef Hasan, displaced from the town of Yuhmor, called Israel an expansionist state that kills women and children."
