Israeli strikes kill 3 in Lebanon despite truce
Despite a US-brokered ceasefire, new Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon have killed at least three people, including a Palestinian girl, and wounded ten others. Targets included the Baalbek, Tyre, and Bint Jbeil districts, with residential buildings leveled in several towns.
Israeli warplanes launched fresh airstrikes on multiple locations in Lebanon on Monday, breaching an ongoing ceasefire agreement and killing at least three people, according to Lebanese health officials and state media.
Casualties in Baalbek and Tyre
Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported that a strike on the eastern town of Douris in the Baalbek district killed two Palestinians, one of them a young girl, and wounded a woman and a child. Separately, the state-run National News Agency (NNA) said an Israeli attack on the southern town of Maarakeh in the Tyre district left one person dead and eight others injured.
Waves of attacks across multiple districts
Israeli warplanes also struck Siddiqine in Tyre, the al-Khashna area in Qana, and the town of Deir Antar in the Bint Jbeil district. In Qana, a second strike completely flattened a house in the al-Khashna neighborhood. NNA added that Israeli aircraft hit residential buildings in the town of Deir Aames in three consecutive waves. Earlier on Monday, several homes in the al-Qalaa area between Harouf and Doueir were also destroyed.

Ceasefire violations mount
The attacks came despite a US-mediated ceasefire announced on April 17, which was later extended until early July. Since March 2, Israeli strikes on Lebanon have killed nearly 3,000 people, injured more than 9,000, and displaced over 1.6 million—roughly one-fifth of the country’s population.
