Six Killed in Israeli Attacks in Southern Lebanon, Hezbollah Responds
Three people were killed and three injured in Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon. On the same day, Hezbollah announced five operations against Israeli forces.
Three people were killed and three others injured in Israeli attacks carried out on Sunday in southern Lebanon. Local media reported air, drone, and artillery strikes around Tyre, Bint Jbeil, and Jezzine.
A low-flying drone was also seen over Dahiyeh, a southern suburb of Beirut. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich posted on X a message that read only "Dahiyeh!"
This post came days after Israeli officials threatened attacks on Dahiyeh if strikes on northern Israel continued, escalating tensions in the region once again.
Casualties and Injuries at Different Locations
According to local sources, an Israeli drone strike targeting a motorcycle on the Wata Abba road between Abba and Al-Dweir killed two Syrians and injured one person. Another motorcycle attack on the Zefta road resulted in one death.
Two people were injured in an attack in Al-Shahabiyeh. A day earlier, an attack on Al-Saksakiyeh in the Saida area killed two women and injured 22 people, including three children and a woman.
Local reports also stated that another attack on Jwaya killed three members of the same family and injured one person. The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that between March 2 and June 6, 3,593 people were killed and 10,990 injured in Israeli attacks.
Hezbollah Announces Five Operations
Hezbollah announced five operations on the same day. According to the statement, the group targeted a Merkava tank near Hadatha.
Hezbollah also reported striking gatherings of soldiers and vehicles around Yohmor Al-Shaqif with rocket and artillery fire and sending an attack drone to an Israeli army command center in Al-Naqoura. All operations reportedly took place on Sunday.
Ceasefire Framework Announced in the U.S.
On June 3, following direct Lebanon-Israel talks in Washington, a ceasefire framework was announced. The proposal linked a full ceasefire to the cessation of Hezbollah attacks and the withdrawal of its members from south of the Litani River.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Kassem rejected this framework, calling it "surrender." Lebanese President Joseph Aoun described it as the country's "last chance" to end the war.
