Lebanon's health ministry reported that 14 individuals, including two women and two children, were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Sunday, making it the deadliest day since a ceasefire began on April 16. The strikes also wounded 37 others. In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire and stated that Israel would act against such violations. Hezbollah, backed by Iran, declared it would not cease attacks on Israeli troops in retaliation for what it claims are Israeli ceasefire violations. The Israeli military has issued warnings for residents to evacuate seven towns in southern Lebanon, emphasizing the dangers posed by ongoing operations against Hezbollah fighters and infrastructure.
