Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon kill at least four people despite a renewed ceasefire arrangement. Multiple outlets report the deaths occur in towns including Nabatiyeh and Bint Jbeil. The Egyptian outlet, citing Lebanon’s state news agency NNA, says the strikes take place on Friday and come after a US-mediated ceasefire that Israeli and Lebanese officials agree to on Wednesday.
One report says the ceasefire is tied to conditions requiring a complete cessation of hostilities, and that the agreement appears to fray soon after it is announced. Another outlet reports that the strikes kill at least four people, citing local authorities, and that a United Nations peacekeeper is killed in the crossfire. Across the accounts, the common elements are the timing—soon after the ceasefire is announced—and the location—southern Lebanon—along with reported fatalities from the renewed fighting.
The sources do not agree on additional specifics beyond the reported death toll and mention of a UN peacekeeper, but they consistently describe renewed Israeli strikes and continuing violence in the same period.
