ISTANBUL, June 9 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- A new wave of Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon killed at least five people on Tuesday in a new ceasefire violation, a day after hostilities between Israel and Iran were halted, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported, citing Lebanon’s state-run news agency.
One person was killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted his farm in the town of Adshit in the Nabatieh district, National News Agency (NNA) reported.
A 16-year-old male was also killed in a drone attack in the town of Haboush.
Israeli drones also launched an attack at dawn on the Al-Marj neighbourhood in the town of Kfar Rumman, killing two others.
Rescue teams have recovered the body of another person and are continuing to search for those missing in airstrikes that targeted several buildings in a popular housing area in Tyre.
Israeli drones also carried out two successive strikes within less than ten minutes near the Husseini Club in the town of Sharqiyah.
Tuesday’s strikes came a day after Iran and Israel ended an exchange of strikes amid escalation over Israeli attacks on the Lebanese capital.
Tehran has warned of a “crushing” response if Israeli attacks in Lebanon continue.
Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon have killed more than 3,600 people, injured over 11,000 others and displaced more than 1.6 million since March 2, according to Lebanese officials.
