Israeli Air Raid Kills Six in Southern Lebanon

A deadly air attack occurred on Monday night in southern Lebanon, targeting a house in the Kfar Dounin municipality. The Israeli military has confirmed that six people were killed and seven others were injured in the raid.

According to reports from Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA), the incident took place approximately 100km south of Beirut. The NNA also stated that hospitals in Tyre received wounded individuals, who are receiving medical attention.

The air raid is part of a series of Israeli attacks on Lebanese targets, which have continued despite an April 16 ceasefire agreement. Since the truce began, Israel’s air force has reportedly targeted over 1,100 sites in Lebanon.

Lebanese authorities have reported at least 380 deaths during the truce period, bringing the total death toll since the Israeli invasion and bombardment began on March 2 to more than 2,800.

On Tuesday, the Israeli military issued new forced displacement orders and threats of further attacks. In statements on X, Avichay Adraee, the Israeli military’s Arabic-language spokesman, advised residents in certain areas to evacuate their homes.

Additionally, the Israeli military destroyed a water pumping station in Deir Mimas and demolished homes in Bint Jbeil. Al Jazeera reported that there has been an escalation of attacks in the past week, with many residents unwilling to leave their towns again due to concerns about ongoing violence.

Lebanese leaders have appealed to the US to press Israel to halt its military operations before a scheduled meeting between Lebanese and Israeli officials in Washington, DC later this week. The upcoming meeting is expected to determine the next phase of the ceasefire agreement.
