TLDR

  • At least 13 people died in southern Lebanon following Israeli airstrikes on Friday, according to the country's Health Ministry.
  • Attacks in the villages of Habous and Zarariyah, and the Tyre region, resulted in civilian casualties, including children and women.
  • The strikes occurred despite an ongoing ceasefire and bring the total death toll from Israeli military operations in Lebanon to over 2,600 since March 2.

The Israeli military's relentless aggression has once again plunged southern Lebanon into mourning. On Friday, at least 13 innocent lives were extinguished by Israeli airstrikes, a brutal act that defies the supposed ceasefire. Our Ministry of Health confirms the devastating toll: eight civilians, including a child and two women, perished in Habous, with 21 others wounded. This occurred even after the Israeli army had ordered the village's evacuation, a cruel irony given the ongoing truce.

Further south, in Zarariyah, four more lives were lost, including two women, and four were injured. The carnage extended to the Tyre region, where another woman was killed and seven were wounded. These attacks, described by the Lebanese National News Agency as a 'barrage of attacks,' underscore the persistent danger faced by our communities.

Since March 2, Israeli military operations have claimed over 2,600 lives in Lebanon, including 103 rescuers. This relentless violence, occurring under the guise of security, is a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict and its devastating human cost. While international attention may waver, for us in Lebanon, this is a daily reality of loss and resilience.
