Israeli strikes on Lebanon kill three: ministry<\/p>\n
The ministry said in a statement that strikes hit five locations in the southern Tyr and Nabatieh regions and the Bekaa region in the east.<\/p>\n
It updated an earlier toll given by Lebanese official media which had reported two of the deaths in the south.<\/p>\n
The strikes came despite a truce between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group.<\/p>\n
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported the strike hit near the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge, which the Israeli army said it had captured, though Hezbollah did not confirm losing it.<\/p>\n
Two young men were targeted while riding a motorcycle in the city of Nabatieh, NNA said, adding that rescuers transported their bodies to a local hospital.<\/p>\n
Israel announced on Thursday it had taken control of the ridge. Defence Minister Israel Katz said the military would work to “prevent the enemy from re-establishing itself in the area”.<\/p>\n
Israel stepped up strikes in the Nabatieh region on Friday and also targeted the village of Rmadiyeh in the Tyre area, located more than 10 kilometres from the Israeli border.<\/p>\n
The ministry said the third person was killed and 15 others hurt there, including two children, three women and six rescuers.<\/p>\n
A rescue service source earlier told AFP that the strike in the village, which is sheltering people displaced from other southern areas, had hit a house.<\/p>\n
Israel and Hezbollah have been trading fire since March when the militant group dragged Lebanon into the wider Middle East war by attacking Israel in support of Iran.<\/p>\n
Israel responded with airstrikes and a ground invasion that Lebanon says have killed more than 4,300 people.<\/p>\n
The conflict has calmed since a US-Iran memorandum of understanding and a framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon was agreed in June, but Beirut still reports Israeli strikes.<\/p>\n
Imran Riza, the UN humanitarian coordinator for Lebanon, said on X on Friday that families returning to Nabatieh following the truce “face widespread destruction, lack of basic services, ongoing insecurity and uncertainty”.<\/p>\n
