11 Killed in Israeli Strikes Across Southern Lebanon

Beirut: At least 11 people were killed and several others wounded in a series of Israeli airstrikes across southern Lebanon on Saturday, the country's state news agency reported.

According to Anadolu Agency, the National News Agency (NNA) stated that two people were killed and five others injured in a strike targeting a house along the road between the towns of Habboush and Kfour in the Nabatieh region.

In another incident, an Israeli drone strike hit a motorcycle on the Qadmous road north of Tyre, resulting in the deaths of two people, the news agency confirmed.

Five additional fatalities, including two women, occurred in an airstrike at a junction in the town of Maarakeh in the Tyre district, it reported.

In the village of Ain Baal, also in the Tyre district, two people were killed and another injured when a home was struck.

Separately, a strike on the town of Qana in southern Lebanon wounded two people, one of them critically, according to the report.

Lebanese authorities commented that the broader Israeli campaign since March 2 has resulted in at least 1,368 deaths and over 4,100 injuries, with more than one million people displaced.

Israel has been conducting airstrikes and a ground offensive in southern Lebanon following a cross-border attack by the Lebanese group Hezbollah on March 2, despite a ceasefire that took effect in November 2024.

Hezbollah has launched multiple rocket barrages into Israel since early March, citing the attacks as a response to continued Israeli strikes on Lebanon, along with the killing of Iran's then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a joint US-Israeli airstrike on Feb. 28.
