Smoke rises above Lebanon, following an Israeli strike, amid ongoing cross-border hostilities between Hezbollah and Israeli forces, as seen from Israel's border with Lebanon

Amid a fresh wave of over 60 Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon, two individuals tragically lost their lives. The strikes, which began at dawn on Sunday, targeted various villages in Nabatiyah and Mahmoudiya, as well as al-Adissa and Yaroun near the border.

The Lebanese health ministry confirmed that the two casualties occurred in Al-Khiyyam and Aitaroun. These airstrikes follow a series of nearly 300 strikes carried out by Israeli aircraft in eastern and southern Lebanon within the past 24 hours.

An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman stated that the airstrikes were in response to intelligence indicating plans for a Hezbollah rocket attack. The ongoing conflict in the region has escalated tensions and raised concerns about further violence.

The situation remains fluid as both sides continue to engage in military actions. The international community is closely monitoring the developments in the region, urging for restraint and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
