Lebanon’s health ministry has said Israeli strikes on the country’s south killed 14 people despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.

The ministry confirmed that the dead include two women and two children, adding that 37 other people have been wounded.

The figures were reported by the Lebanese Health Ministry and the state news agency, which also said the Israeli army carried out demolitions targeting homes and infrastructure between the towns of Yaroun and Bint Jbeil in the south.

In the Tyre district, Israeli forces carried out an airstrike on the town of Burj Qallawiyeh, alongside gunfire toward the towns of Mansouri and Bayt al-Sayyad in the same area, the news agency said.

In the Nabatieh district, an Israeli strike targeted the town of Kfar Tebnit, while artillery shelling hit the town of Arnoun and the Ali al-Taher forest area.

Israeli warplanes also conducted raids on Zawtar al-Sharqiya in the same district, reportedly destroying a mosque and a religious hall.

In the Bint Jbeil district, Israeli forces targeted the town of Beit Yahoun, alongside three raids on Burj Qallawiyeh, one on Kafra, and another on the area between Jbal El Botm and Sadiqin, according to the agency.
