Israeli Airstrikes Kill Dozens in Southern Lebanon as Truce Reports Remain Conflicted

Overview

• Lebanese state media say Israeli warplanes struck inhabited homes in Nabatieh towns, killing at least 31 people in the latest documented raids.
• Lebanese official figures place the overall toll from the campaign at about 3,912 dead, more than 11,870 wounded and over one million displaced.
• Reuters reported a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel took effect in the afternoon but Lebanese outlets reported strikes after that time, showing the truce’s fragility.
• Iran’s foreign ministry publicly condemned the strikes, cited the new U.S.–Iran memorandum to hold Washington accountable and warned it could take measures to protect its interests and allies.
• The clashes began on February 28 and a U.S.-brokered April truce has weakened over time, raising the risk of wider regional escalation and deepening Lebanon’s humanitarian crisis.
