At least six people were killed and seven others injured in an Israeli airstrike on the Kfar Dounin area of southern Lebanon on the night of May 11, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA). The report said a residential house was targeted in the attack, and the injured were taken to hospitals in the city of Tyre. Early the next morning, Israeli forces also shelled the outskirts of Al-Mansouri and Majdal Zoun, NNA added.

The incident comes amid escalating clashes and reciprocal attacks between Israel and armed groups along Lebanon’s southern border. In a separate strike earlier on May 11, two Bangladeshi expatriates were killed in the Nabatieh district when their residence in Jibdin was hit by an Israeli air raid. The victims were identified as Shafiqul Islam and Md Nahidul Islam, both from Satkhira district in Bangladesh.

The repeated airstrikes highlight the growing instability in southern Lebanon, where cross-border hostilities have intensified in recent weeks.

Lebanon’s health ministry has reported that at least 2,869 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since renewed conflict began on March 2. The ministry also stated that more than 8,730 others have been injured during the same period. The ongoing strikes and counterattacks have raised concerns about worsening humanitarian conditions across several areas of the country.

As the violence continues, many residents have been forced to flee their homes in search of safety. The international community has repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire and for measures to protect civilians amid the escalating conflict.

The situation remains volatile, with fears that the humanitarian crisis could deepen further if hostilities persist.

Israel has intensified its military operations in southern Lebanon, launching new airstrikes and demolition campaigns after ordering residents of at least nine border towns and villages to evacuate. The Israeli forces are reportedly operating within a so-called 'Yellow Zone' extending about 10 kilometers inside Lebanese territory, where explosions and destruction of structures have been reported by local sources.

While discussions continue in Washington on extending a ceasefire agreement, the situation on the ground is becoming increasingly volatile. The Lebanese government has appealed to the international community for assistance in rebuilding the south, securing the release of detained individuals, and ensuring the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanese soil.

Analysts warn that continued attacks and forced evacuations could undermine ongoing diplomatic efforts toward a ceasefire and heighten instability across the region. According to Al Jazeera correspondent Obaida Hitto, fear is spreading in southern Lebanon as many families flee in search of safety.

At least 51 people, including two health workers, were killed in Lebanon within the past 24 hours amid ongoing Israeli attacks. Funerals in the villages of Harret Saida and Al-Saksakiyyah drew hundreds of mourners, many of whom carried photos of their deceased relatives. Ali Safiuddin, head of Civil Defense in Tyre, said residents live under constant threat and feel as if they have already lost their lives.

In Gaza, Israeli strikes on residential areas, including the Al-Shati refugee camp, killed several Palestinians. Families were seen mourning beside the ruins of their homes. According to Lebanon’s Health Ministry, Israeli aggression since March has killed 2,846 people in Lebanon, while Gaza’s death toll has surpassed 72,700. Bereaved families have appealed to the global conscience for justice.

The Israeli offensive, which began on March 2, has displaced more than 1.2 million Lebanese. Despite a ceasefire declared on April 16, the intensity of attacks has continued to rise, worsening the humanitarian crisis across both Lebanon and Gaza.

British surgeon Dr. Tahir Mohammad has dismissed Israel’s claim that Hezbollah is using ambulances to transport weapons during the ongoing conflict in Lebanon. Speaking to Al Jazeera, he said there is no evidence supporting the allegation and described Israel’s increasing attacks on healthcare workers as part of a long-standing policy. Dr. Mohammad, who has worked in both Lebanon and Gaza, cited incidents where ambulances and aid workers were obstructed while trying to assist victims.

He further stated that in Gaza, video footage showed ambulance workers being killed while rescuing the wounded, calling Israel’s justifications baseless. Expressing anger, he said he had witnessed colleagues in Gaza killed by Israeli weapons and argued that targeting healthcare workers in Lebanon reflects the same continuous policy. According to Lebanon’s Health Ministry, more than a hundred healthcare workers have been killed since Israeli attacks began in March.

Dr. Mohammad accused Israel of attempting to cripple the healthcare system in violation of international law, emphasizing the humanitarian toll of the ongoing assaults.

An Israeli soldier was killed on Sunday in a Hezbollah drone attack near the Manara area close to the southern Lebanon border, according to the Israeli military. The incident marks the latest in a series of deadly exchanges between Hezbollah and Israel since fighting intensified in early March, bringing the total number of Israeli soldiers killed to 18.

Following the attack, Israeli media reported that the military launched airstrikes and artillery fire on multiple positions in southern Lebanon. Explosions were also heard in Israel’s northern Galilee region. Hezbollah later stated that its forces targeted Israeli troops inside a house in the southern Lebanese town of Al-Taybeh amid ongoing border clashes.

The renewed violence underscores the persistent volatility along the Israel-Lebanon frontier, with both sides engaging in repeated retaliatory strikes since the escalation began earlier this year.

At least 51 people were killed in Israeli attacks across Lebanon within the past 24 hours, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. Among the dead were two medical workers, prompting the ministry to accuse Israel of violating international law and humanitarian norms by targeting healthcare personnel.

The ministry reported that since Israel launched a renewed military campaign on March 2, a total of 2,846 people have been killed nationwide. The United Nations stated that more than 130 Israeli strikes during this period have killed at least 103 Lebanese medical workers and injured 230 others. Ali Safiuddin, head of Civil Defense in the southern city of Tyre, told Al Jazeera that emergency workers face constant danger and feel as though they have already sacrificed their lives.

The conflict has displaced over 1.2 million Lebanese since March 2. Despite a ceasefire declared on April 16, the intensity of Israeli attacks has increased rather than subsided.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported that at least 39 people were killed in intensified Israeli airstrikes, including seven in the southern city of Saksakiyeh. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said the attacks targeted Hezbollah positions and acknowledged awareness of civilian casualties. The strikes occurred despite a ceasefire announced on April 16, 2026, by U.S. President Donald Trump between Israel and Lebanon.

According to the ministry, Israeli attacks have killed more than 120 people across Lebanon in the past week, including women and children. The IDF stated that its operations aimed to eliminate Hezbollah-linked infrastructure and personnel, while Hezbollah continued launching drone and rocket attacks into northern Israel. Human rights groups warned that some incidents could amount to war crimes.

Lebanese officials said Israel has occupied about 10 kilometers of southern Lebanese territory, seeking to create a “Hezbollah-free security zone.” Since March 2, 2026, a total of 2,795 people have been killed in Lebanon, while Israel reported 17 soldiers and three civilians dead on its side.

Israeli air and artillery attacks have sharply escalated across southern Lebanon, affecting an area spanning about 10 kilometers. The strikes followed evacuation orders issued by Israeli forces for residents of nine towns and villages in the region. Over the past 48 hours, casualties have continued to rise as Israeli aircraft, drones, and artillery targeted multiple sites within what Israel has designated as the 'Yellow Zone' inside Lebanese territory, reportedly demolishing homes and structures.

The escalation comes just days before a scheduled round of limited diplomatic talks between Lebanon and Israel in Washington next week. The renewed violence has emerged at a time when there was faint hope of extending the current ceasefire. In response, the Lebanese government is preparing to present several demands to Israel, including assistance for rebuilding destroyed villages, the release of detainees, and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon.

Both sides are now looking toward the upcoming diplomatic discussions amid heightened regional tension and uncertainty over the ceasefire’s future.

Lebanese armed group Hezbollah announced it launched missile and drone attacks on Israeli military bases in response to recent Israeli airstrikes in Beirut and ongoing assaults in southern Lebanon. According to Lebanese authorities, at least 11 people were killed in Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon on Friday. The Israeli army reported intercepting one missile while others landed in open areas without causing casualties.

The escalation follows a ceasefire agreement reached last month, which has failed to halt hostilities. Earlier in the week, an Israeli strike in southern Beirut killed a senior Hezbollah commander, marking the first major attack in that area in nearly a month. Hezbollah said its latest operations targeted bases near Nahariya and northern Israel as retaliation for Israeli violations and civilian casualties.

Lebanon’s health ministry confirmed civilian deaths, including women and children, while Israel ordered evacuations from several southern Lebanese towns. Amid rising tensions, direct talks between Lebanon and Israel are scheduled in Washington next week, though Hezbollah has condemned the planned negotiations as unacceptable.

Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for 26 attacks on Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, carried out since Thursday afternoon. The group said its operations included a missile strike on an Israeli tank outside the town of Dair Syrian, shelling of Israeli troops advancing toward Haddatha, and an assault on soldiers gathered in the village of Labbouneh. Hezbollah asserted that the attacks caused casualties and damage among Israeli forces but did not specify numbers.

Meanwhile, reports indicate that more than 30 people were killed in intense Israeli strikes in the same region. Friday was described as one of the deadliest days of Israeli air raids in southern Lebanon. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, which began on March 2, has so far resulted in over 2,700 deaths and at least 8,500 injuries in Lebanon.

The situation underscores the continuing escalation along the Lebanon-Israel border, with both sides sustaining heavy losses and no sign of de-escalation mentioned in the report.

At least 11 people were killed in a series of Israeli airstrikes across several towns and villages in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry and local media reports on Friday. Four people, including two women, died in an attack on the Tura area of Tyre district, where at least eight others were injured. The National News Agency of Lebanon reported that another four people were killed in a separate strike on the city of As-Sultaniyah. Additional operations were carried out in the Bint Jbeil district, including the towns of Chakra, Barashit, and Safad al-Batikh.

In another incident, three people were killed in the village of Al-Zahrani when an Israeli strike targeted a car on the Arab al-Jal-Houmin al-Tahta road, also hitting a passing motorcyclist. The recent wave of attacks has worsened security conditions in Lebanon’s southern border areas, with growing civilian casualties spreading fear among local residents.

Reports indicate that the situation remains tense as the number of victims continues to rise, heightening concerns over further escalation in the region.

At least 12 people, including a child, were killed in Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese National News Agency (NNA). The attacks targeted areas near the towns of Al-Mansouri and Bayyut al-Sayyad, extending to the Al-Mansouri-Hamra coastal zone. The strikes occurred early Friday as Israeli forces attempted to advance toward Bayyut al-Sayyad, supported by heavy helicopter fire.

NNA reported that a Red Cross and Lebanese Army medical team came under fire while traveling toward the Jibkin municipality to recover bodies and evacuate the injured from a previous attack. The team was forced to retreat due to Israeli shelling. The agency also said a large explosion occurred inside the city of Al-Khiyam.

Since early March, Israeli attacks in Lebanon have killed 2,727 people and injured 8,438 others, according to the same report.

The Israeli military has claimed responsibility for killing Ahmad Balout, the head of Hezbollah’s Radwan Unit, in an airstrike carried out in southern Beirut on Wednesday. According to a statement from the Israeli army, the attack also killed Muhammad Ali Bazi, head of intelligence for Hezbollah’s Nasser Unit, and Hussein Hassan Romani, an air defense monitoring officer.

The report, citing Al Jazeera, noted that Iran played a key role in the formation of Hezbollah in 1982 and has continued to work closely with the group over subsequent decades. Despite an existing ceasefire, Israel has continued its attacks in Lebanon, while Hezbollah has launched retaliatory strikes.

The ongoing hostilities underscore the fragile nature of the ceasefire and the persistent tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in the region.

A photo circulating on social media shows an Israeli soldier appearing to press a lit cigarette to the face of a Virgin Mary statue in the Christian-majority town of Debel, southern Lebanon. The image has drawn attention as it follows a previous incident last month in which Israeli soldiers reportedly smashed a statue of Jesus Christ in the same town.

According to The Times of Israel, the Israeli military stated that if the soldier involved is identified, disciplinary action will be taken. The report also noted that this incident is part of a continuing pattern of footage showing Israeli soldiers destroying or looting property, often shared by the soldiers themselves.

The image has added to growing scrutiny of Israeli military conduct in Lebanon, with the army pledging to investigate the matter once the individual is confirmed.
