Overview
- Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported at least 39 people killed across the country on Saturday, including seven in al‑Saksakiyeh and a Syrian father and his 12-year-old daughter in Nabatieh.
- Israel said it targeted Hezbollah fighters and infrastructure, struck more than 85 sites in 24 hours, and opened a review after reports of civilian casualties in the al‑Saksakiyeh strike.
- Hezbollah said it launched rockets and explosive drones in response to Israeli attacks, and Israel said the drones wounded three soldiers near the northern border.
- The Israeli army issued new evacuation orders for southern towns and maintained a 5–10 km buffer inside Lebanon, while Lebanese officials report thousands killed and over a million displaced since March.
- U.S. officials scheduled Lebanon–Israel talks for May 14–15 in Washington, though Beirut seeks a halt to strikes before negotiations and Hezbollah rejects direct participation.
