Israeli Strikes in Lebanon Kill 12, Hit Hezbollah and Hamas Sites

The strikes test a fragile 2024 truce brokered by the United States.

Overview

  • Lebanon’s Health Ministry reports 12 dead and 24 wounded in attacks in the east and south.
  • Israel says eight Hezbollah members were killed, while Lebanese security sources and a Hezbollah representative say a senior commander was among the dead.
  • The Lebanese news agency NNA cites six airstrikes, including near Baalbek, with buildings destroyed in Bednajel and between Rijak and Ali al-Nahri.
  • Israel earlier reported hitting an alleged Hamas command center in the largest Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon, and Hamas says two of its members were killed.
  • President Joseph Aoun condemned the strikes as an egregious aggression as the government reiterates its pledge to disarm Hezbollah and the army estimates at least four months for the second phase.
