Multiple reports say Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon continue despite a ceasefire, killing civilians in several areas as diplomacy prepares to restart. Lebanon’s health authorities say attacks targeting cars mostly south of Beirut leave 12 people dead, while other reporting also cites separate strikes in the Beirut area that kill a woman and two children. France 24 and other outlets report a widening of Israel’s offensive with a first raid near Beirut in weeks, following heavier strikes in southern Lebanon. One account says at least 14 people are killed in south Lebanon, including children.

Some sources describe strikes hitting homes and apartments near Beirut’s southern suburbs, with additional casualties reported by Lebanese authorities. Hezbollah-linked tensions persist even as ceasefire arrangements are discussed, and several outlets note that Israel and Lebanon are preparing for or approaching new rounds of negotiations mediated by the United States. Reports also reference Lebanon’s claims of extensive housing damage since the ceasefire began, with thousands of homes damaged or destroyed, and mention that Israel’s military continues operations in areas it controls or has delineated near the border.
