Israel kills one in south Lebanon as Bekaa Valley still reels from war
"An Israeli air strike on southern Lebanon has killed one person and wounded another, Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health says, as Israel ramps up its cross-border attacks in defiance of a ceasefire. The ministry said in a statement on Wednesday that an Israeli enemy raid struck a car in the town of Burj Rahal in the southern district of Tyre. The attack resulted in the martyrdom of one citizen and the injury of another, the statement read, without identifying the dead."
"Lebanon's National News Agency said the attack happened near a school, triggering panic among students and prompting parents to rush to collect their children amid scenes of fear and chaos. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the strike, which was the latest in a series of its attacks across southern Lebanon, despite a ceasefire signed on November 27, 2024."
"Israeli forces remain deployed in at least five areas of Lebanon's south as they carry out near-daily air raids that Israel says target Hezbollah fighters and infrastructure. On Monday, two people were killed and seven wounded in separate attacks in southern Lebanon. A day earlier, Israeli raids in Nabatieh killed four people, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. Inside Lebanon, the continued bombardment has heightened fears of a renewed war, as Israeli and United States officials press the Lebanese government to force Hezbollah to disarm."
