Israeli Airstrike in Southern Lebanon Results in Casualties Amid Ceasefire Violations

Beirut: One person was killed and 13 injured early Sunday in an Israeli airstrike targeting the southern Lebanese town of Bedias, despite a truce, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. The ministry stated that the strike directly impacted the town, although it did not provide further specifics regarding the extent of the damage.

According to Anadolu Agency, the recent strike followed a series of Israeli attacks across Lebanon on Saturday, which resulted in the deaths of at least 25 people, including two children, and left several others injured, as reported by the Health Ministry. These events have occurred despite a ceasefire agreed upon since April 17, which has been extended to mid-May.

The Israeli army continues its daily operations in Lebanon, engaging in exchanges of fire with Hezbollah. Since March 2, following the onset of the Iran war in late February, Israel's military actions in Lebanon have led to the deaths of more than 2,700 individuals and have displaced over 1 million residents. In response to the ongoing conflict, the United States is set to host peace talks between the two nations on May 14-15 in Washington.
