Lebanon health ministry says Israeli strikes in south and east kill eight
The attacks occurred one day after the Lebanese and Israeli governments agreed a ceasefire plan for Israel's war with Hezbollah, which the group has rejected.
The Lebanese health ministry reported that Israeli strikes in eastern Lebanon and near the southern city of Tyre killed eight people on Thursday. Five fatalities occurred in the east, while three died near Tyre. The attacks also left eight wounded, including three children and two women.
The strikes occurred one day after the Lebanese and Israeli governments agreed on a ceasefire plan for the war with Hezbollah, a proposal the group has rejected.
The report is attributed to FRANCE 24’s Antonia Kerrigan, reporting from Beirut.
The incident is part of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Lebanese health ministry is the primary source for casualty figures in this report.
The broader context involves a recently agreed ceasefire plan between the Lebanese and Israeli governments, which remains unaccepted by Hezbollah.
Casualty figures are attributed solely to the Lebanese health ministry; independent verification is not provided in the source.
The claim that the strikes occurred "a day after" the agreement should be verified against specific dates to ensure temporal accuracy.
