Israeli airstrikes hit the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon on Sunday, hours after the deadliest day of raids since a US-brokered ceasefire, killing at least 11 people and sending hundreds of families fleeing north.
Fresh Israeli airstrikes targeted the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon, just hours after the region witnessed its deadliest day of raids since the US-brokered ceasefire took effect. At least 11 people were killed in the latest strikes, according to local reports.
The bombardment triggered a wave of panic among residents, with hundreds of families packing into cars and heading north to escape the violence. Roads leading out of the affected areas quickly became clogged with traffic as people sought safer ground.
The strikes come amid heightened tensions, despite the earlier ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States. The renewed attacks mark a significant escalation in the area, which has seen periodic flare-ups since the truce was established.
Local authorities and medical teams have been struggling to cope with the influx of casualties, while displaced families are seeking shelter in schools and other temporary accommodation further north. The exact number of injured has not yet been confirmed.
As families continue to flee the violence, the situation in southern Lebanon remains precarious. The international community has called for restraint, but with no immediate sign of de-escalation, many fear that further strikes could worsen the humanitarian crisis.
