Israeli strikes in southern Lebanese village kill 12, Lebanon says
Israeli strikes in a village in southern Lebanon have killed 12 people, according to information reported in the latest account of the escalation. Lebanon says the attacks are putting at risk a US-brokered ceasefire intended to end the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
The reported strikes come amid renewed tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. Lebanon has described the recent Israeli escalation as a threat to the agreement, raising concerns about whether the ceasefire can hold.
The ceasefire was brokered by the United States and was meant to bring an end to the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The latest developments have instead prompted warnings from Lebanon that continued escalation could undermine the arrangement.
The information available does not provide further details about the village, the circumstances of the strikes or the identities of those killed. It also does not state whether the ceasefire has formally ended.
At this time, 12 deaths have been reported following Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, while Lebanon says the escalation is jeopardising the US-brokered ceasefire designed to end the Israel-Hezbollah conflict.
