At least nine people have been killed in Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon, despite an ongoing ceasefire agreement, according to reports published on April 30, 2026.
The strikes targeted areas in southern Lebanon, with casualties including civilians. The attack comes amid continued tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, despite a ceasefire aimed at reducing cross-border violence.
Lebanese officials condemned the strikes, describing them as a violation of the ceasefire, while Israel has maintained that its operations target militant activity in the region which local sources and witnesses deny.
The situation along the Israel-Lebanon border has remained volatile, with intermittent exchanges of fire despite international efforts to maintain calm. The latest incident raises concerns about the stability of the ceasefire and the risk of further escalation in the region.
