Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire reportedly targeted multiple locations in southern Lebanon, including areas in Wadi al-Sulouqi, al-Qantara, Bani Hayyan, Taluса and Upper Nabatieh. Lebanon’s health ministry reported 8,953 deaths and about 30,643 injuries, although the source did not provide the figures’ timeframe. The attacks come after a U.S.-mediated framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel was signed last month.
Israeli aircraft and artillery targeted several towns and surrounding areas in southern Lebanon, according to Iran’s state-run IRNA, citing al-Mayadeen.
The reported airstrikes hit areas in Wadi al-Sulouqi, al-Qantara, Bani Hayyan, Taluса and Upper Nabatieh. Israeli artillery also repeatedly shelled Upper Nabatieh, the report said.
The attacks followed airstrikes, artillery fire and explosive operations reported in southern Lebanon on Wednesday and Thursday. Several towns and villages in the districts of Tyre, Bint Jbeil and Nabatieh were reportedly affected by explosions and continued bombardment.
Lebanon’s public health ministry said that 8,953 people had been killed and about 30,643 injured. The report did not specify the period covered by those figures.
IRNA reported that Israel launched a broad offensive against Lebanon on March 2, displacing more than one million people and maintaining control over parts of the country’s south, according to the report.
Lebanon and Israel signed a U.S.-mediated “framework agreement” last month aimed at ending the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The agreement followed several rounds of direct talks in Washington, but has faced criticism over its legal status and the absence of a clear timetable for the withdrawal of Israeli forces.
