Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon kill at least 12 people, according to Lebanon’s health ministry, and at least 13, according to Lebanese sources. The strikes occur as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urges Lebanese citizens to join Israel’s fight against Hezbollah.
Lebanese state media, including the National News Agency (NNA), reports that Israeli forces seize a local councillor and a municipal worker from the border town of Kfarshuba. Another report says two municipal employees detained by Israeli forces are later released. Israel says it “apprehended” two people who approach its soldiers.
The incidents follow continued fighting in the region despite an April ceasefire and a conditional truce announced last week. Both reports describe ongoing hostilities rather than a sustained halt to attacks.
The accounts are based on Lebanese official figures and state reporting, along with limited Israeli statements about detentions, and they do not provide further details on the targets of the strikes.
