Israeli strikes kill four in southern Lebanon despite truce

Israeli forces killed four civilians and wounded at least 14 others on Friday in a series of strikes across southern Lebanon, according to a tally by Lebanon's state-run National News Agency, as the region's fragile ceasefire faced renewed pressure.

In the town of Doueir, an Israeli strike destroyed a building located near a police station, killing one person and wounding another, the agency reported. A subsequent attack on the same town killed three additional people, raising the death toll there to four.

Drone and artillery attacks on multiple locations

Israeli drones also struck the towns of Habboush and Abba, as well as a motorcycle near the Popular Aid junction, leaving one person wounded. Artillery shelling targeted Kfar Rumman, Nabatieh al-Fawqa, and the outskirts of Choukin and Mayfadoun, while a separate drone attack hit the area around the Harouf-Toul roundabout.

Tyre wounded and truce fragility

In the city of Tyre, 12 people were wounded when a strike destroyed a building belonging to Bank Audi near Jabal Amel Hospital, with civil defense teams transferring casualties for treatment. The attacks came despite a ceasefire that has held since April 17 — extended until early July by Washington — and amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to prevent the agreement's collapse.
