Israeli strikes kill at least three in southern Lebanon

Lebanon's health ministry reported that an Israeli air strike on the area of Saksakiyeh killed two people and wounded 22, with three children and a woman among the injured. Warplanes also struck the town of Haris in the Bint Jbeil district and Deir Kifa in the Tyre district, where at least one person was killed. Israeli artillery shelled the towns of Jibsheet and Abba in the Nabatieh area, according to field reports cited by al-Mayadeen.

Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, warned last week that continued Israeli attacks on Lebanon could derail the Pakistan-mediated peace negotiations between Tehran and Washington. The strikes come amid heightened tensions in the region, with Hezbollah and Israel exchanging fire across the border. The Lebanese government has called for international intervention to halt the escalation.

According to Mehr News, the latest attacks mark a significant uptick in violence, raising fears of a broader conflict. The health ministry urged hospitals to remain on high alert as casualties may rise.
