Israeli strike in southern Lebanon kills 3 people, including a child
Attack targets vehicle in Yanooh town in Tyre district, Lebanese media says
BEIRUT/ISTANBUL
Three people, including a child, were killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon on Monday, marking a new violation of a ceasefire deal in effect since late 2024, Lebanese media reported.
The attack targeted a vehicle in the center of Yanooh town in the Tyre district, the state-run National News Agency (NNA) said.
Israeli violations of the November 2024 ceasefire have killed and wounded hundreds of Lebanese, while Israel continues to occupy five Lebanese hilltops seized during the latest war, in addition to other Lebanese areas it has held for decades.
Israel began military operations against Lebanon in October 2023 and escalated them into a full-scale war in September 2024, killing more than 4,000 people and wounding about 17,000 others.
Lebanese officials have repeatedly called for pressure on Tel Aviv to halt its attacks and abide by the ceasefire terms, while Hezbollah has affirmed on more than one occasion its commitment to the truce, calling for withdrawal from the areas occupied by Israel during the last war.
