Ceasefire in Lebanon Strains as Attacks Continue
A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah that began on April 16 has seen increased tensions in recent days. The two parties have continued to exchange attacks despite the official truce.
According to reports, at least 2,846 people have been killed and over 1 million displaced since Israel launched its war on Lebanon on March 2. On Sunday, Israeli attacks across Lebanon resulted in 51 civilian casualties, including two medical workers.
The Lebanese Health Ministry stated that Israeli forces have violated international laws and humanitarian norms, targeting healthcare facilities in Qalawiya and Tibnin districts. The United Nations has reported at least 103 Lebanese medical workers killed and 230 injured in over 130 Israeli strikes since the conflict began.
Ali Safiuddin, head of the Lebanese Civil Defence, expressed concerns about the safety of medical personnel and first responders. “We’re under threat every second, every day,” he said. Dr. Tahir Mohammed, a war surgeon and humanitarian worker, noted similarities between Israel’s actions in Lebanon and Gaza, where he has worked.
Israeli forces continued to launch attacks on Monday, including an air strike that killed two people and wounded five in the town of Abba. Warplanes also targeted the town of Kfar Remman for the second time in less than an hour. The Israeli military issued a warning for residents of nine areas in southern Lebanon to flee before potential strikes.
Hezbollah reported carrying out 24 attacks targeting Israeli army positions, soldiers, and military vehicles in southern Lebanon over the past 24 hours. Targets included troop gatherings, Merkava tanks, bulldozers, and command centers in several border areas.
