Kfar Remman strikes
Israeli airstrikes hit the southern Lebanese village of Kfar Remman early Monday, killing at least nine people and wounding others, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry, with one strike hitting a building and killing eight people including a child and two women.
“killing at least nine people and wounding others, including women and children”
The AP report said the second strike hit a car and killed a paramedic with the Lebanese Islamic Risala Scout Association and wounded two others, while another resident, Saleh Medlej, asked, "Are there missiles here?" as he pointed to the destroyed building.
In parallel, Tasnim News Agency said an Israeli regime airstrike hit a town in the Nabatieh district, killing at least 10, and it described "uncertainty and fear" across southern Lebanon as recovery efforts by civil defence workers continued.
Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr, reporting from Kfar Reman after the overnight strikes, said, “People just do not know what is next.”
Evacuation orders and blame
Israel’s military issued an evacuation warning for a home in Deir al-Zahrani and shortly afterward a building was struck, with the Israeli military saying the strike was in retaliation for a drone attack by Hezbollah militants.
In a social media post, Israeli military spokesperson Ella Waweya called on residents inside a building marked on an accompanying map in Deir al-Zahrani to "evacuate immediately" and move at least 300 meters away, warning that remaining in the area "puts you in danger."
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called the strikes "a dangerous escalation," and the CNBC report said he urged the U.S. to help end the hostilities.C
The Times of Israel quoted the IDF saying, “Hezbollah’s terrorist activity compels the IDF to act forcefully against it,” as it described targeting a “Hezbollah terrorist facility.”
Ceasefire strain and wider risk
The attacks continued despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon reached in June, and Tasnim said the strikes followed Israeli regime air raids on nearby Arab Salim that killed at least seven people and wounded 20 others.
“despite a so-called US-brokered ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon reached in June”
AP reported that Monday’s strikes came amid a new round of escalation between Israel and Hezbollah despite a truce reached more than two months ago, and it said Israel and Lebanon signed a U.S.-mediated framework deal in June under which Israeli forces were to withdraw from southern Lebanon in exchange for the disarmament of Hezbollah.
In the wider conflict, News On AIR said more than one million Lebanese remain displaced and that access to medical care, electricity and basic services continues to deteriorate as aid agencies warned humanitarian conditions were worsening rapidly.
RFI reported that the Israeli army conducted on Sunday and overnight dozens of drone and artillery strikes against about a dozen localities north of the Litani River, and it cited Agence France-Presse saying seven people were killed and twenty others were injured yesterday, including children, while during the night attacks killed eleven people, including two babies.
