At Least Six Dead in Israeli Attacks in Southern Lebanon

Reports from state media indicate that at least six people have been killed and nine others injured in a series of Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon. The National News Agency (NNA) reported that fighter jets targeted the town of Bazouriyeh, killing one person and injuring nine others.

Additionally, air strikes were reported in other towns, including Nabatiyeh El Faouqa, Sir el Gharbiyeh, and Choukine, resulting in the deaths of at least three people. A centre of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Tyre was also targeted by Israeli warplanes, with one person later pronounced dead after being injured in the attack.

Several Red Cross vehicles were damaged in the attack on Tyre, and an air strike on an orchard resulted in the deaths of several people, although the exact number is not specified. Artillery shelling was reported in multiple towns in the south, including Haniyeh, Qlaileh, Mansouri, Bayt Yahun, Tayr Harfa, Majdal Zoun, and Sama’ah.

The Israeli army has announced that it will have full operational control of the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil within days, following claims of killing over 100 Hezbollah fighters in air strikes and “face-to-face” confrontations. The announcement marks a significant advance in Israel’s ongoing invasion of southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah has confirmed that it has been engaged in fighting with Israeli forces in Bint Jbeil for several days, with the town serving as a strategic flashpoint in confrontations between the two groups. Diplomatic efforts to contain the cross-border fighting have increased over the past few days, with Israeli and Lebanese officials set to hold talks on Tuesday in Washington to discuss an end to the war.

Lebanese Culture Minister Ghassan Salame stated that the government is focused on securing an immediate halt to hostilities before any peace talks with Israel are held. The meeting in Washington will be a preparatory meeting at ambassador level, aimed at producing a pause in military activity and potentially leading to a ceasefire.
