At least 10 people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health, despite ongoing ceasefire conditions in the region.
The ministry said that the strikes carried out on Friday included victims among rescue workers and a child. Six people were killed in an attack near the coastal city of Tyre, including two emergency responders from the Risala Scouts organization and a Syrian girl.
In a separate incident in the southern town of Hanawey, four members of the Islamic Health Committee—an organization affiliated with Hezbollah—were also killed in an Israeli strike.
These latest casualties come amid continued tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border, where sporadic violence has persisted despite ceasefire arrangements.
Earlier on Friday, the Israeli military stated that it had killed two individuals near the border area. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), surveillance detected two armed suspects moving suspiciously only a few hundred meters from Israeli territory, after which an airstrike was carried out targeting and killing them.
On the other side, Hezbollah claimed that it had carried out attacks targeting Israeli military positions and troop movements both inside Lebanon and across the border in northern Israel.
The situation reflects the fragile security environment along the Lebanon-Israel frontier, where ceasefire understandings have repeatedly come under strain due to continued cross-border strikes and retaliatory actions by both sides.
International observers have expressed concern over the escalation, warning that continued hostilities could further destabilize the already tense regional situation and lead to broader conflict if not contained.
