Israeli airstrikes on southern and eastern Lebanon killed at least 13 people and wounded several others on May 6, according to Lebanese officials, marking another major violation of the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
The attacks targeted multiple areas, including the Bekaa Valley and towns in southern Lebanon near the Israeli border. Lebanese media reported that civilians were among those killed in the strikes.
Israel said the attacks targeted Hezbollah infrastructure and fighters, while Lebanese officials accused Israel of repeatedly breaching the ceasefire agreement that took effect earlier this year. Residents in several areas reported heavy explosions and widespread damage following the bombardment.
The latest strikes have raised fears of renewed escalation along the Lebanon-Israel border after months of cross-border fighting linked to the war in Gaza. Lebanese authorities say Israeli attacks since October 2023 have killed thousands and displaced large numbers of civilians across southern Lebanon.
