Airstrikes hit Nabatieh
Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon killed at least 11 people, including two infants, and injured five others overnight, Lebanese state media reported Monday.
“killed at least 11 people, including two infants, and injured five others”
The strikes hit a three-story residential building in the town of Kafr Rouman, near Nabatieh, after midnight, completely destroying it, and emergency teams recovered nine bodies, including those of two infants, from the rubble.
In a separate attack, an Israeli drone struck a civilian vehicle in Kafr Rouman, killing two paramedics from the Islamic Risala Scout Association who were inside.
The Lebanese state news agency NNA also said the Israeli army issued an evacuation warning for a building in Deir al-Zahrani before Israeli warplanes destroyed it around 22 minutes later.
UN warns and Aoun
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was "deeply concerned by the escalation of Israeli military attacks in southern Lebanon, particularly in and around Nabatieh," and condemned "the mounting civilian casualties" in intensifying attacks.
Guterres also said he was "particularly alarmed by reported Israeli strikes affecting hospitals, healthcare workers and public institutions," and appealed for "an immediate cessation of hostilities" while calling on Israel to withdraw its forces from Lebanese territory.
In parallel, Lebanese president Joseph Aoun urged the United States to take urgent action to stop the Israeli strikes and condemned what he described as a dangerous escalation that went beyond the recurring violations of the truce and the framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel.
The Aajil report said the Lebanese Health Ministry announced the death of four people and the destruction of Salah Ghandour Hospital in an Israeli strike on Nabatieh al-Fawqa, describing the attack on the health facility as "an additional gross violation of international humanitarian law."
Displacement and UNIFIL
UNIFIL said it recorded an average of 137 projectiles fired per day between August 5-16, with 208 projectiles on Saturday and 185 on Sunday, as it warned that civilians were bearing the brunt of increased Israeli activity.

UNIFIL said "As tensions rise, civilians are once again paying the highest price, with many families displaced or forced to change their daily routines because of insecurity and uncertainty," and said its peacekeepers maintained their presence through patrols and facilitating access for humanitarian aid.
The Al Jazeera report said Israeli airstrikes hit the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon just hours after the deadliest day since a US-brokered ceasefire, with at least 11 people killed, and that the strikes sent hundreds of families fleeing for safety clogging roads to the north.
Al Jazeera also reported that Israel is considering pulling its troops occupying Lebanese territory closer to the Israeli border, with Kan citing security sources that the military was preparing to scale back its presence and reposition three to four kilometres closer to the Israeli border along a new “Grey Line.”
