Israeli military attacks on southern Lebanon continue despite the extension of the ceasefire. Throughout the day, the death toll from strikes around Sur, Sidon, and Nabatieh has risen to 17.
According to Lebanon's official news agency NNA, Israeli warplanes and drones targeted numerous towns during the day. The attacks were concentrated around Sur, with debris removal efforts ongoing in some areas.
Heaviest Losses in Tayr Diba near Sur
In the attacks around Sur, 9 people were killed and 7 injured in the town of Tayr Diba. In Deyr Kanun al-Nahr, 3 people died and 3 were wounded.
In the Mesakin Shaabiyeh neighborhood of Sur city, 1 person was killed and 5 injured. Following the attacks, debris removal continues in the damaged areas of Tayr Diba.
Sidon, Nabatieh, and Kafrdunin Also Targeted
Israeli warplanes also launched airstrikes on Kafrdunin, a town affiliated with Sur. In Sadikayn near Nabatieh, 2 people were killed, and 2 died in Sidon city center.
Due to the attacks ongoing since morning, the death toll in southern Lebanon was initially reported as 6 but rose to 17 with new strikes during the day. The number of injured has also increased in various locations.
Attacks Continue Despite Ceasefire Agreements
The Israeli military launched intense airstrikes on Lebanon on March 2, occupying many towns in the south. The Lebanese government announced that over 1 million people have been displaced during this period.
Despite the ceasefire that took effect on April 17 and was extended for 45 days as of May 17, attacks reportedly continue. On April 24, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a three-week extension of the temporary ceasefire.
Following the third round of U.S.-mediated talks on May 14-15, the ceasefire was extended by 45 days. However, recent Israeli attacks indicate ongoing tensions on the ground.
The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that 3,666 people have died in Israeli attacks since March 2. On June 3, the U.S. State Department announced an agreement on a broad ceasefire conditional on Israel and Lebanon fully stopping Hezbollah attacks and withdrawing all forces south of the Litani River, but Hezbollah rejected this conditional ceasefire.
Israeli media suggested that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to halt attacks on Iran at President Trump's request, but that attacks on Lebanon would continue with full force.
