Israeli Strikes in Lebanon Claim Seven Lives
The Lebanese Army confirmed in an official statement that one of its soldiers was killed and others wounded after an Israeli strike struck a military checkpoint in the Ameriyeh area.
A Lebanese news agency reported that a separate Israeli airstrike in the Bint Jbeil district claimed one life and left another person injured.
The deadliest single strike hit the town of Shaqra, killing five people and wounding two more, according to Lebanon's Public Health Emergency Operations Center at the Ministry of Public Health.
On the other side of the conflict, Hezbollah announced that its fighters had launched a rocket salvo at the Mishmar HaCarmel missile defense installation situated south of Haifa. The group further stated it directed rocket fire at Israeli troop concentrations in the Avivim settlement, targeted Israeli soldiers and military vehicles in both the Khanouq area and the border village of Adaisseh — struck twice — and also fired on the Kiryat Shmona settlement and the al-Malkiya site.
The renewed hostilities mark a dangerous escalation of cross-border violence that resumed on March 2, when Hezbollah fired rockets toward Israel for the first time since a ceasefire agreement had taken hold on November 27, 2024 — a provocation that subsequently triggered a wave of intensified Israeli airstrikes across southern and eastern Lebanon.
