Anadolu said an Israeli airstrike targeted a pickup truck on the Habboush road near the vehicle registration office building in the Nabatieh district, killing two people, and that another drone strike killed one person near the Safa station on the Mifdoun road.

In southern Lebanon, Palestine Chronicle said Israeli drone strikes targeted the vicinity of Sheikh Ragheb Harb Hospital and that ambulance crews rushed toward the area before Israeli forces targeted the vicinity again, wounding several paramedics affiliated with the Al-Risala Health Ambulance Association.

On the Israeli side, ynetnews reported that Hezbollah explosive-laden first-person-view drones wounded seven IDF soldiers in southern Lebanon over the past 24 hours, with one soldier seriously wounded and three lightly wounded overnight. ynetnews also said sirens sounded in Kiryat Shmona over a suspected drone infiltration and that the military later said the air force intercepted a “suspicious aerial target” launched from Lebanon.

Lebanon’s National News Agency figures cited by Anadolu and TRT World described continued strikes despite a ceasefire announced on April 17 and extended until May 17, with Anadolu saying the Israeli army continues daily strikes and widespread demolition of homes in dozens of villages.
