Israeli air strikes on southern and eastern Lebanon killed at least 10 people, including two children, as drone attacks hit multiple areas including the town of Mansouri, according to Al Jazeera and France 24.
The strikes follow a pattern of continued Israeli military operations in Lebanon targeting what Israeli officials have described as militant infrastructure. Southern Lebanon has been a recurring flashpoint, with cross-border fire between Israel and Hezbollah-linked groups persisting despite international calls for de-escalation. A ceasefire agreement reached in late 2024 has faced repeated violations reported by both sides.
Al Jazeera reported that an Israeli air attack killed at least 10 people in southern Lebanon. Separately, Israeli drones dropped bombs on Mansouri, a town in the south. France 24 confirmed at least three deaths across strikes on both southern and eastern Lebanon, and separately reported that two children were among those killed. An earlier report cited by the EndGameWW3 account noted two people killed in an Israeli strike targeting individuals on a bicycle in southern Lebanon, consistent with the broader wave of attacks described by major outlets.
The deaths of civilians, including children, are likely to draw renewed international condemnation and increase pressure on mediators working to hold the fragile ceasefire in place. Sustained Israeli strikes on Lebanese territory risk further destabilizing a country still recovering from years of economic collapse and prior conflict. Regional actors, including Iran-backed Hezbollah, may face domestic pressure to respond, raising the risk of escalation along the Israel-Lebanon border.
No immediate statement from the Israeli military on the specific strikes was available in the sourced reports. Lebanese authorities and civil defense teams were reported to be responding to the affected areas.
