At least 10 people were injured in overnight Israeli attacks in Lebanon on Sunday, officials said.

The Health Ministry, cited by the state news agency NNA, said Israeli strikes on the Burj Rahal municipality in Tyredistrict led to the injury of nine citizens.

A child was seriously injured in strikes that targeted Wadi Al-Zararia of Sidon district and was transferred to intensive care, the ministry added.

Cross-border warfare between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon escalated into a full-scale war in September 2024. Despite a November ceasefire, Israeli forces have conducted near-daily attacks in southern Lebanon, claiming to target Hezbollah’s activities.

Since then, Lebanese authorities have reported nearly 3,000 Israeli violations of the truce, including the deaths of at least 231 people and injuries to more than 500.

Under the ceasefire deal, Israel was supposed to fully withdraw from southern Lebanon by Jan. 26, but the deadline was extended to Feb. 18 after Tel Aviv refused to comply. Israel still maintains a military presence at five border outposts.
