Israel airstrikes in southern Lebanon kill at least 12 people

Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon have caused a significant escalation in hostilities, resulting in at least 12 deaths in the village of Kfar Rumman. The casualties include women and children, as well as a two-month-old infant. One of the strikes destroyed a three-story residential building, while another targeted a vehicle, killing a paramedic from the Islamic Risala Scout Association.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the operations were retaliatory measures following Hezbollah drone attacks against Israeli troops. The military identified targets as Hezbollah weapons depots, command centers, and infrastructure. This surge in violence occurs despite a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement that has been in place since June.

In addition to the fatalities in Kfar Rumman, reports indicate strikes in other areas such as Arab Salim and Deir al-Zahrani. The IDF has also claimed operational control over the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge. The Lebanese Ministry of Health has noted a rise in casualties across the region, highlighting the increasing instability in the south.
