Israeli Strikes Across Lebanon Kill At Least 19 as Ceasefire Frays

Washington will host May 14–15 Israel–Lebanon talks under a ceasefire widely viewed as failing.

Overview

  • Israeli attacks across Lebanon on Saturday killed at least 19 people, including seven in Saksakiyeh and a Syrian father and his 12-year-old daughter in Nabatieh.
  • The Israeli military said it targeted Hezbollah fighters in Saksakiyeh and noted reports of civilian casualties in the structure that was hit.
  • Hezbollah said it launched rockets and explosive drones at Israeli forces, and Israel reported three soldiers wounded near the border.
  • Strikes also hit highways south of Beirut and towns outside areas under evacuation orders, signaling a spread of fighting beyond usual fronts in the south.
  • U.S.-mediated talks are set for May 14–15 in Washington, as Lebanese authorities cite more than 2,750 deaths since March 2 and warn that evacuations and access limits are worsening the humanitarian crisis.
