Israel has intensified its bombardment of south Lebanon in recent days despite a ​June ceasefire that was meant to halt fighting between the Israeli military and Lebanese armed group Hizbullah. At least 11 people were killed and eight wounded in Kfar Rumman in the Nabatieh district early on Monday, the Lebanese health ministry said. The dead included two children and four women, while four more children, two women and a paramedic were injured, it said.Another attack on a vehicle resulted in the killing of a paramedic from the Al-Risala Scouts organisation and the wounding of two others, the ministry said.At least 27 people have been killed and 69 wounded by Israeli attacks in Lebanon in the last three days, the ministry said on Monday. “This toll is further damning evidence of the grave violations of international humanitarian law committed by the Israeli occupation, targeting paramedics and children, while the law stipulates their protection during wars,” it said. The Israeli military said it struck Hizbullah “infrastructure sites” in response to the launch of explosive drones by the militant group. It said no Israel Defense Forces (IDF) injuries were reported.The IDF also said it targeted “terrorists who were identified transferring weapons in the area of Kfar Rumman”. It said it was reviewing reports that “several uninvolved individuals were harmed as a result of the strikes”.On Sunday, Lebanon’s ministry of health said at least 11 people were killed and 26 wounded by Israeli attacks, including children, women, and two journalists. The Israeli military also said the attacks were in retaliation for drone launches. Among its targets was a shuttered hospital, which the IDF said had become a Hizbullah headquarters. Despite multiple ceasefire agreements, fighting has not stopped. Israeli forces continue to occupy swathes of southern Lebanon, where they are carrying out ongoing demolition.[ Iran says response to further attacks will be ‘more painful’Opens in new window ]Israel says its continued strikes are permitted under the ceasefire agreement, accusing Hizbullah of attempting to rebuild its military capabilities.Since March 2nd, the Lebanese ministry for health says, at least 4,362 people in Lebanon have been killed and 12,378 injured. Since October 2023, it puts the death toll at 8,929 killed and 30,614 injured. It is not clear whether Hizbullah fighters are always included in these tolls.Last month, the UN said that about 360,000 people remain displaced in Lebanon, including at least 22,000 people living in collective shelters. Damage to infrastructure has also had significant ramifications, the UN saying that more than 700,000 people are still affected by damage to water infrastructure alone.Israel released five civilians last week – three Lebanese and two Syrian nationals, whom it had captured in southern Lebanon and subjected to interrogation. Dozens more Lebanese citizens are thought to be held incommunicado in Israeli detention.The International Committee of the Red Cross facilitated the release, while saying it has not been granted access to detainees held by Israel.A woman inspects her home following an Israeli strike in the village of Kfar Rumman, southern Lebanon, on Monday.
