Israeli Strikes on Southern Lebanon Kill Two, Injure Seven — Lebanese Ministry!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

Air raids launched by Israel on southern Lebanon killed at least two people and wounded seven others on Monday, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. The military strikes targeted sites reportedly linked to the militant group Hezbollah.

What We Know

• The health ministry’s statement reported two fatalities and seven wounded following the strikes. [1]
• Israel’s military claimed it struck a vehicle and a site used by Hezbollah for logistics and weapon storage. [1]
• The attacks occurred despite a fragile cease‑fire arrangement between Israel and Hezbollah. [2]

Quote

“Two people were killed in these enemy strikes… We reiterate the right of Lebanon to defend its territory.”
— Lebanese Health Ministry spokesperson [1]

Why It Matters

• The incident threatens to destabilise an already fragile peace in the region, pushing Lebanon closer to renewed hostilities.
• With civilians among the casualties, the strikes raise serious humanitarian and international law concerns.
• Israel’s operation underscores the continued volatility along the Lebanon–Israel border and the potent presence of Hezbollah.

What to Watch

• Lebanon’s government or the Lebanese Armed Forces’ response, including possible diplomatic or military escalation.
• Deeper scrutiny by international bodies such as the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs or human‑rights organisations on civilian impact.
• Developments in the Israel‑Hezbollah cease‑fire and the broader implications for regional security in the Middle East.
