19 Killed in Israeli Airstrikes in Southern Lebanon
Beirut. At least 19 people have died in Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon. According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, 10 people died in a single attack.
A house in the city of Deir Kanoun was targeted in the attack. Among the dead are 3 children and three women. Lebanon entered the conflict on March 2 when the Iran-backed Shia Islamist group Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel.
This attack was in response to a joint US-Israeli operation to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader.
These latest deaths come less than a week after the United States announced that Lebanon and Israel had agreed to extend the ceasefire for 45 days. Talks between the two sides are scheduled to resume in early June.
Despite the extension of the ceasefire, frequent exchanges of fire between Israel and Hezbollah continue, especially in southern Lebanon. Israel claims that the attacks are targeting the armed group Hezbollah.
However, civilians, including women and children, are also dying in the attacks.
