Israel kills at least five in new strikes on southern Lebanon despite truce

A new wave of Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon killed at least five people on Tuesday in a new ceasefire violation, a day after hostilities between Israel and Iran were halted.

One person was killed in an Israeli air strike that targeted the man’s farm in the town of Adshit in the Nabatieh district, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported.

A 16-year-old male was also killed in a drone attack in the town of Haboush.

Israeli drones also launched an attack at dawn on the Al-Marj neighbourhood in the town of Kfar Rumman, killing two others.

Rescue teams have recovered the body of another person and are continuing to search for those missing in air strikes that targeted several buildings in a popular housing area in Tyre.

Israeli drones also carried out two successive strikes within less than ten minutes near the Husseini Club in the town of Sharqiyah, injuring three people, including two members of Lebanon’s Civil Defence.
