Israeli Airstrike in Southern Lebanon Kills Six as Ceasefire Falters

At least six people were killed and seven wounded when an Israeli airstrike struck a residential home in Kfardounine, southern Lebanon. The injured were rushed to hospitals in the coastal city of Tyre. The attack comes amid rising cross-border tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, despite a ceasefire agreement brokered by international mediators. Each side accuses the other of violating the truce. This latest violence stems from the broader Israel-Hamas war in Gaza that began in October 2023. Since then, Lebanon’s north has seen one of the fiercest flare-ups between Israel and the Iran-backed group since 2006. Diplomatic efforts remain fragile as fighting continues. Hezbollah has launched rockets and drones toward Israeli positions, while Israel has carried out multiple airstrikes across southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley.
