Israeli strikes kill 10 people in southern Lebanon

The Lebanese health ministry says ten people, including three emergency workers, have been killed by Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon, as the occupying regime continues its aggression across the region.

According to the ministry, Saturday’s strikes targeted several locations in the Nabatiyeh district, while Lebanon’s state media reported that more than a dozen sites were hit in the onslaught.

The ministry added that among the dead were a member of the Lebanese Civil Defense and two paramedics with the Hezbollah-supported Islamic Health Committee.

Lebanon’s health ministry condemned the attacks, describing them as Israel’s “systematic” targeting of emergency workers.

The escalation comes as Iran has reiterated that a ceasefire in Lebanon is part of the two-week ceasefire with the United States and must be included in a potential agreement to end the war, launched by the US and Israel against the country late in February.

A 10-point proposal presented by the Islamic Republic — which US President Donald Trump has described as a “workable basis on which to negotiate and the main framework for these talks” — explicitly conditions a ceasefire on ending aggression on all fronts, including against Lebanon.

Israel has repeatedly violated the 2024 ceasefire deal it signed with Hezbollah, under which Tel Aviv was obligated to halt the deadly escalations toward Lebanon that have cost thousands of lives.

Since February 28, when Israel and the United States launched the unprovoked military offensive against Iran, the occupying regime has intensified its assaults on Lebanon.

Separately on Saturday, the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah announced it had launched multiple attacks on Israeli military positions in response to the regime’s continued strikes on southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah said it targeted a gathering of Israeli soldiers in the town of Shama using a drone, resulting in direct casualties among the forces stationed there.

The group reported that several gathering points and tanks belonging to Israeli troops were destroyed during the operation. It also launched missiles at multiple towns in the occupied territories, including Safad, Adumim, Nahariya, Kiryat Shmona, Al-Mutala, and Maskaf Am.

Hezbollah additionally fired ten missiles toward Karmiel in the Galilee region. A missile hit a military base in the northern occupied territories without triggering any warning sirens.
