Israeli Airstrikes Kill at Least 10 People Across Southern Lebanon Despite Ceasefire

In Arab Salim, two women were killed and six people wounded after Israeli forces issued a forced displacement order for a building, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency.
The strikes caused damage to prominent civilian sites: an air raid destroyed a historical building in Nabatieh owned by the brother of a Lebanese lawmaker, while another attack destroyed what remained of the Sayyida Masouma Garden municipal park.
In Kfar Reman, the home of the town’s late former mayor was destroyed; five people received treatment at hospitals in Nabatieh and were later discharged.
Israeli forces continue to operate inside a self-declared security zone extending about 10 kilometers into Lebanon, while Lebanon reports ongoing artillery fire and demolitions of civilian buildings despite the reduced frequency of attacks.
Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon killed at least 10 people, including a two-month-old infant, in the village of Kfar Reman, Lebanese Health Ministry reported. Two others remain missing after the strikes, which also hit nearby Arab Salim, Nabatieh, Nabatieh al-Fawqa, and Deir al-Zahrani. The attacks came in response to two drones launched toward Israeli forces, according to Israeli officials, and damaged homes and civilian buildings across the region.
The airstrikes continued despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire framework between Israel and Lebanon. Residents described growing fear and uncertainty as rescue efforts unfolded. Lebanon's National News Agency said Israeli forces had issued forced displacement orders before some attacks, raising questions about civilian safety during the operations.
In Arab Salim, at least seven people were killed and 20 wounded in a series of strikes. Lebanon's National News Agency reported that two women died after Israeli forces ordered residents to evacuate a building. Five victims from Kfar Reman received hospital treatment in Nabatieh and were later discharged, according to local reports.
The strikes destroyed several key civilian landmarks. TRT World reported that an air raid destroyed a historical building in Nabatieh owned by the brother of a Lebanese lawmaker. Another attack leveled what remained of the Sayyida Masouma Garden, a municipal park. In Kfar Reman, the home of the town's late former mayor was reduced to rubble.
ABC News noted that Lebanese health officials documented at least 27 deaths over three days of strikes in southern Lebanon. The damage to civilian sites raises concerns about whether Israel is distinguishing between military targets and populated areas.
Israel maintains a self-declared security zone extending roughly 10 kilometers into Lebanon, where forces continue military operations. Israeli officials said the strikes targeted Hezbollah-linked sites in response to drone attacks. However, Lebanon reports ongoing artillery fire and demolitions of civilian buildings within this zone, even as the frequency of major attacks has declined.
