Assalamu alaikum - Air strikes in southern Lebanon kill 3 and injure 11 amid ceasefire breach
Assalamu alaikum. Israel has reportedly killed at least three people and wounded 11 others in drone strikes in southern Lebanon, in what’s being described as another breach of the ceasefire announced in late 2024.
According to local reports, two brothers died when a drone struck a vehicle near the town of Shebaa. The strike happened on the road linking Ain Ata to Shebaa along the western slopes of Mount Hermon and caused the vehicle to catch fire.
Another strike hit a car in the town of Barashit, killing one person and injuring four, the Ministry of Public Health said. Seven more people were wounded when a drone struck a car in Bint Jbeil, the ministry added. One of the guided missiles was reported to have targeted a vehicle near Salah Ghandour Hospital in Nabatieh.
Local news also mentioned an additional strike in Barashit with unspecified injuries.
The Israeli military claimed the Shebaa strike killed two members of the Hezbollah-linked Lebanese Resistance Brigades and said the brothers were involved in smuggling weapons. They also claimed a person in Barashit was killed for allegedly trying to rebuild military infrastructure in the area.
These strikes come amid rising tensions along the border, after a series of air raids on southern towns. For weeks, the situation in southern Lebanon has been tense, with near-daily strikes inside Lebanese territory that Israel says target Hezbollah members and infrastructure.
Many reports say the wider campaign, which began in October 2023 and escalated in September 2024, has led to thousands of casualties and widespread suffering.
May Allah grant patience and relief to all those affected and protect innocent civilians. Please keep the victims and their families in your duas.
