Israeli Strikes Kill Five in Southern Lebanon Despite Ceasefire

Fresh Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Saturday killed five people, Lebanese official media reported. The strikes came despite a new ceasefire between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah group that had been announced just a day earlier. The ceasefire was declared on Friday, but the attacks on Saturday suggest that the truce is not holding. Lebanese state media confirmed the death toll of five but did not provide further details about the victims or the specific locations targeted. The Lebanese official media described the strikes as 'fresh' and the ceasefire as 'new', highlighting the contrast between the two events. The strikes underscore the fragility of the ceasefire and the ongoing tensions in the region. Hezbollah has not yet commented on the attacks. The situation in southern Lebanon remains volatile, and further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
