Israeli Airstrikes Kill 13 in Southern Lebanon as Fragile Ceasefire Collapses
Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon killed 13 people on May 2, marking a significant breakdown of a 10-day pause in fighting. The strikes targeted several villages and killed at least seven people in a series of attacks that violated the ceasefire agreement established on April 16. These events represent a sharp escalation in violence along the border.
These attacks follow an earlier incident on April 29 where an Israeli double-tap strike killed three civil defense rescue workers in Majdal Zoun. Lebanon's Prime Minister accused Israel of war crimes after that strike, which also killed eight other people while responders were attempting to help victims of an initial attack.
