Lebanon’s Health Ministry said Israeli strikes on the country’s south on Sunday (April 26, 2026) killed 14 people, the deadliest day since a ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war came into force over a week ago.
It came as Israel and the Iran-backed group traded fresh accusations of breaching the fragile truce, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying the military was “vigorously” targeting Hezbollah and the group vowing to keep responding to “violations”.
Israel PM says Hezbollah 'dismantling' ceasefire with Lebanon
Israel’s military has carried out repeated strikes in Lebanon since the April 17 ceasefire, which on Thursday (April 23) was extended for three weeks, after six weeks of war in which Israel also invaded the country’s south.
Israeli troops are operating inside an Israeli-announced “yellow line”, which demarcates a ribbon of Lebanese territory around 10 km (six miles) deep along the length of the border, where residents have been warned not to return.
