Israel launched around 100 airstrikes across Lebanon within a span of 10 minutes, despite the recent ceasefire between Iran and the United States. According to Lebanese Health Minister Rakan Nasereddine, the attacks resulted in more than a hundred people being killed or injured. The Lebanese Red Cross has intensified emergency operations to respond to the crisis.

The Red Cross reported that at least 100 ambulances were deployed to affected areas to rescue the wounded and transport them to nearby hospitals. Rescue teams are also providing on-site medical assistance. The Health Ministry stated that the number of casualties continues to rise, with many of the injured in critical condition, raising fears that the death toll could increase further.

The attacks come amid regional uncertainty over whether Lebanon is included in the ceasefire framework. Reports from Al Jazeera indicate that the situation remains volatile as emergency services struggle to manage the aftermath of the strikes.

Iran-backed Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has warned that the ceasefire agreement between the United States, Israel, and Iran could collapse if the Lebanon front is not included. Hezbollah parliament member Ibrahim Mousawi stated that the Hezbollah-Israel front is part of the deal and insisted that if Israel fails to comply, Iran and the wider region will respond.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Israeli military announced that its ground operations and fighting against Hezbollah would continue, echoing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s position that the ceasefire agreement does not cover Lebanon. Despite the ceasefire taking effect, Israel has continued to carry out attacks in southern Lebanon.

Since the beginning of the conflict, Iran has repeatedly emphasized that any agreement must include the Lebanon front, underscoring Tehran’s consistent stance on regional inclusion in ceasefire arrangements.

Israel has deployed its 98th Division to southern Lebanon to strengthen its ground operations in the region. The move, reported on April 8, 2026, aims to expand military activity against the Iran-backed Hezbollah group. With this addition, a total of five Israeli divisions are now operating in southern Lebanon, including the 91st, 36th, 146th, and 162nd divisions. The Israeli military stated that the new deployment will reinforce the front defense line and help reduce threats to northern residents.

According to reports, the terrain in southern Lebanon is mountainous and densely populated, posing greater challenges than Gaza. The main objective of the operation is to push Hezbollah fighters north of the Litani River and prevent the use of border villages for military purposes. Israeli forces are also preparing to present a plan to political leaders that includes taking control of border villages and continuing operations even after the war with Iran ends.

The report noted that such a strategy could be viewed as occupation under international law, raising potential legal and diplomatic concerns.

More than 1,530 people have been killed and about 4,812 injured in Lebanon’s southern region during over a month of fighting between Israeli forces and the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah, according to the country’s health ministry as reported by AFP. Among the dead are 102 women and 130 children, highlighting the heavy civilian toll of the conflict.

The report comes as U.S. President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran, supported by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. However, Netanyahu clarified that the ceasefire does not apply to Lebanon, leaving the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah unaffected.

The exclusion of Lebanon from the ceasefire raises concerns about continued violence in the region, with no indication of an immediate de-escalation in the southern areas of the country.

An Israeli airstrike on the coastal city of Sidon in southern Lebanon killed eight people, according to Lebanon’s Ministry of Health as reported by Al Jazeera Arabic. The attack took place in a densely populated area of the city, leaving at least 22 others injured. Several of the wounded were taken to local hospitals, and some are reported to be in critical condition.

The report did not specify the exact timing or reason for the airstrike. Lebanese authorities confirmed the casualties and ongoing medical response in Sidon. The incident adds to the continuing tensions in the region, though no further details were provided about the broader context or military objectives behind the strike.

Further updates on the condition of the injured and any official responses from either side were not immediately available from the source.

At least five people were killed and several others injured in two separate Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon, according to the country’s National News Agency (NNA). The attacks took place on April 7, 2026, targeting residential areas in two towns.

The NNA reported that two people were killed when an airstrike hit a house in the town of Marakeh, leaving several others wounded. In a separate nighttime strike on the town of Tair Debba, three people were killed and two others injured. The report did not specify the identities of the victims or the reasons for the attacks.

The incidents mark another escalation of violence in the region, though further details about the circumstances or official responses were not provided in the report.

Israel carried out an airstrike in Lebanon on Sunday targeting a Hezbollah leader, but the attack missed its intended objective. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the strike failed to hit the correct target, resulting instead in the deaths of Pierre Mouawad, a senior figure in the Christian-backed Lebanese Forces Party, and his wife Flavia Mouawad. The IDF expressed regret over the incident.

The strike hit a residential apartment building in eastern Beirut, an area largely inhabited by members of the Christian community. Lebanon’s Health Ministry confirmed that one man and two women were killed. The local mayor said the couple lived on the ground floor of the building that was struck. The IDF stated it is assessing the damage caused by the mistaken attack.

The Lebanese Forces Party said Pierre Mouawad was not a combatant and had no military role. He was reportedly celebrating Easter Sunday at home with his family when the strike occurred.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported on Sunday that Israeli attacks since March 2 have killed 1,461 people and injured 4,430 across the country. Among the dead are 129 children and 97 women, according to a report by Anadolu Agency. The ministry added that in the past 24 hours alone, 39 people were killed and 136 injured. At least 54 healthcare workers have died and 145 others have been wounded in the attacks.

The ministry stated that Israel has carried out airstrikes and ground assaults in southern Lebanon following cross-border attacks that began on March 2. These operations have continued despite a ceasefire announced in November 2024. Hezbollah has been launching missiles into Israel since early March, describing the actions as retaliation for Israeli strikes in Lebanon and the joint U.S.-Israeli attack on February 28 that killed Iran’s then–supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The report highlights the escalating violence between Israel and Hezbollah, with civilian casualties mounting and regional tensions deepening despite previous ceasefire efforts.

Israel has claimed responsibility for killing 90 Hezbollah members in a series of attacks in southern Lebanon. According to the Israeli military, the deaths occurred after renewed clashes between Israel and Hezbollah. The military also reported killing two additional Hezbollah fighters within the past 24 hours and said its air force destroyed several of the group’s facilities during overnight raids.

The escalation follows a rocket attack launched by Hezbollah in early March in support of Tehran after the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Since then, Israel has intensified its operations across Lebanon, including in the capital Beirut, expanding its military presence and airstrikes.

The latest Israeli offensive has displaced about 1.2 million people from their homes in Lebanon, according to the report. The situation marks a significant deterioration in regional stability as both sides continue to exchange attacks.

Lebanese armed group Hezbollah announced that it launched a missile attack on an Israeli military ship located 68 nautical miles off the Lebanese coast. The group stated that the strike targeted a warship that was allegedly preparing for aggression against Lebanese territory. According to Hezbollah’s statement, the attack followed several hours of surveillance and involved the use of a naval cruise missile.

Hezbollah claimed that the missile directly hit its intended target. The group’s announcement was reported by Al Jazeera and shared through local media. The incident adds to ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, which have seen repeated exchanges of fire and mutual accusations of aggression along the border region.

No immediate details were provided on the extent of the damage or any casualties resulting from the strike, and Israeli official responses were not included in the report.

At least 20 people, including children, were killed and several others injured in Israeli airstrikes across southern Lebanon, according to the country’s National News Agency. The attacks targeted multiple areas including Habboush, Kfou, Marakeh, Ain Bal, and Tyre district. In Habboush and Kfou, two people were killed and five injured, while drone strikes near Kadmus Road north of Tyre killed two more. Additional strikes in Marakeh killed five, including two women, and other attacks in Ain Bal, Yater, and Kana caused further casualties.

Lebanese authorities reported that since the start of Israeli aggression on March 2, a total of 1,422 people have been killed and 4,294 injured, with over one million displaced. The report cited TRT World as its source. The latest wave of attacks also left several paramedics and women among the injured, with some in critical condition.

The ongoing escalation has intensified humanitarian concerns in southern Lebanon, where repeated strikes have caused widespread displacement and civilian casualties.

The United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) has reported that more than one million people have been displaced in Lebanon over the past month due to Israeli aggression. According to UNHCR spokesperson Babar Baloch, the situation in Lebanon is becoming increasingly dire, with widespread displacement following Israeli evacuation orders and subsequent attacks. The report, cited by Turkey’s Anadolu Agency, said that one in every five people in Lebanon has been forced from their homes, with around 600 shelters now housing the displaced population.

Baloch stated that the conflict shows no signs of slowing and is severely affecting both Lebanese citizens and Syrian refugees living in the country. He added that over 200,000 people have fled Lebanon for Syria, averaging about 7,000 crossings per day. Many displaced individuals within Lebanon continue to move from place to place in search of safety.

To support those affected, UNHCR is working to raise $300 million in humanitarian funding for displaced people across Lebanon.

Israeli airstrikes have damaged major water supply infrastructure in southern Lebanon, causing widespread disruption to emergency services, according to the South Lebanon Water Establishment. The organization, citing Lebanon’s National News Agency, reported that facilities in Ibl al-Saqi and al-Maysat were hit, leading to significant damage.

The attacks also affected solar-powered systems at the al-Zahiriya station and Eastern Well No. 1 in the Kanarit region. The South Lebanon Water Establishment strongly condemned the strikes, calling them a clear violation of international law and conventions that protect civilian infrastructure.

In its statement, the organization emphasized that targeting essential facilities such as water supply systems contravenes humanitarian principles, which require such infrastructure to remain outside the scope of armed conflict.

Three United Nations special rapporteurs have condemned the killing of three journalists in Lebanon and called for an independent and comprehensive investigation. They described the incident as another brutal attack by Israeli forces on press freedom. The experts—Irina Khan, Morris Tidball-Binz, and Ben Saul—stated that journalists performing their professional duties during armed conflict are civilians and must not be targeted or attacked.

According to the report, Israeli forces carried out a targeted strike on March 28 in southern Lebanon, killing Al Mayadeen journalist Fatima Fattouni, her brother and freelance photojournalist Mohammad Fattouni, and Al-Manar’s Ali Shoaib. The UN experts emphasized that the deliberate killing of journalists not directly involved in combat constitutes a serious violation of international human rights and humanitarian law and may amount to a war crime.

Al Mayadeen and Al-Manar are Hezbollah-aligned media outlets. Israel accused Shoaib of being a fighter for the Lebanese armed group but did not present any evidence to support the claim.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have claimed responsibility for killing at least 40 Hezbollah fighters in the past 24 hours during coordinated air, land, and sea operations in southern Lebanon. According to a report cited by Al Jazeera, the IDF said it carried out extensive airstrikes targeting Hezbollah’s military installations and infrastructure.

The IDF stated that the attacks destroyed several key sites, including weapons depots and rocket launch facilities. Ground forces reportedly identified and neutralized a Hezbollah cell in the region, while the Israeli navy struck a weapons warehouse in southern Lebanon. The operations were described as part of a comprehensive campaign against Hezbollah’s military presence.

As of the report’s publication, Hezbollah had not issued any official response to Israel’s claims, leaving the extent of the casualties and damage unverified.
