Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:
Multiple villages and towns in southern Lebanon have been targeted by Israeli air attacks, resulting in at least three fatalities. According to reports from the National News Agency (NNA), Israeli drone strikes on the Kafr Rumman-Jarmaq highway and Jarmaq-Khardali road in the Nabatieh area killed three people early Monday morning.
The Israeli military has issued new evacuation orders for residents of 10 villages, citing “Hezbollah’s violation of the ceasefire agreement” as the reason. The order applies to villages such as Nabatieh al-Tahta, al-Louizeh, Sajd, Ain Qana, Harouf, Zibdin, Kfar Reman, Doueir, Adshit al-Shaqif, and Maydun.
In addition to the air attacks, Israeli forces have also struck other towns in southern Lebanon, including al-Mansouri, Siddiqin, Zibqin, Qlayaa, Yohmor al-Shaqif, Zawtar al-Sharqiyah, and al-Haniya. The Israeli military has confirmed that one of its soldiers was killed in the conflict, while another soldier was wounded.
The fighting between Israel and Hezbollah resumed on March 2, resulting in over 3,000 fatalities according to the Ministry of Public Health. The Israeli military has stated that it is committed to continuing operations against Hezbollah despite a US-mediated ceasefire agreement.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has reiterated his demand for Israel’s withdrawal from the country, stating that it is a “non-negotiable” requirement. Negotiations between Lebanon and Israel are set to resume in early June, with talks also taking place at the Pentagon on May 29.
Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem has expressed opposition to direct talks with Israel, stating that his group will not disarm. Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also stated that negotiations aimed at ending the US-Israel war on Iran are also focused on resolving the conflict in Lebanon.
