Since March 2, Israel has waged an offensive on Lebanon that has killed some 2,300 people, wounded over 7,500, and displaced over 1 million, according to the latest official figures from Lebanon.
A 10-day temporary ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon that took effect last April 16 has been followed by reported violations.
At least three people, including a child, were killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon on April 20, marking a new violation of a ceasefire deal in effect since late 2024, Lebanese media reported.The attack targeted a vehicle in the center of Yanooh town in the Tyre district, the state-run National News Agency (NNA) said.
Israeli violations of the November 2024 ceasefire have killed and wounded hundreds of Lebanese, while Israel continues to occupy five Lebanese hilltops seized during the latest war, in addition to other Lebanese areas it has held for decades.
