Israeli Strikes Kill 7 In Southern Lebanon As Hezbollah Attacks Continue

Deadly Israeli strikes and continued Hezbollah attacks have raised fears that the US-backed ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon may be unraveling, as CNN reported from its coverage of the conflict.

Channel Africa said Lebanese authorities reported more than 2 700 deaths since March 2 amid clashes between Hezbollah fighters based in Lebanon and the Israeli military.

Channel Africa also reported that Hezbollah began firing rockets into northern Israel after United States-Israeli bombing of Iran started on February 28, adding to the regional escalation.

In Beirut, UN Women Regional Director for Arab States Moez Doraid said women account for 25% of more than 380 people killed since the April 17 ceasefire came into effect, highlighting danger for families attempting to return home under assumed safety.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam met with U.S. Ambassador Michel Aissa as part of preparations for a third direct meeting between Lebanese and Israeli representatives scheduled to be held in Washington on Thursday and Friday.

Salam said he asked Aissa to press Israel to stop the ongoing attacks and violations, which would help cement the ceasefire, and he told Al Arabiya TV, "Today we are facing the occupation of 68 Lebanese villages as a result of this war that was imposed on us."

In southern Lebanon, the Lebanese Ministry of Health said Israeli air raids killed at least seven people in the town of al-Siksiya on Saturday, including a child, while the Israeli army said it targeted Hezbollah militants in the town.

Al Jazeera reported that the Lebanese Health Ministry said medics were killed and five were injured as a result of two Israeli air raids that directly hit two points of the Islamic Health Organization in the towns of Qlaweih and Tebnine, and the ministry condemned the occupier's persistence in violating international law and humanitarian norms.

Channel Africa said displacement has reached 1.2 million, with communities uprooted by evacuation orders covering more of the country than previously recorded, and it reported that thousands are returning under hazardous conditions including extensive housing damage plus the risk of unexploded ordnance.

World Food Programme Assistant Executive Director for Programme Operations Matthew Hollingworth said WFP operations negotiated movement of 19 convoys to south Lebanon supporting 84 500 people, but convoy approvals remain limited, with fewer than 50% of convoy requests to Israel receiving approval.

Libnanews said Lebanon's Health Ministry updated on Monday, May 11, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. that 2,869 dead and 8,730 injured were recorded since March 2, bringing the total killed or wounded to 11,599.

Libnanews also recorded 141 attacks on emergency medical services and 108 deaths in the medical and relief sector, including 103 emergency service members and 5 health personnel, while noting that the truce has not yet translated into effective protection for residents and rescuers.
