Israeli air strikes killed at least 10 people in southern Lebanon on Saturday, despite a ceasefire declared on April 17. Drones and warplanes targeted several towns, including Shoukine, Kfar Dajjal, Lwaizeh, and Siddiqine, with reports of civilian casualties. These strikes follow a pattern of escalating violence, with Lebanon's National News Agency reporting 44 deaths in Israeli attacks over the previous two days and a total of over 2,600 since March 2. Israel states its actions target Hezbollah, but a significant number of those killed are civilians. In response, Hezbollah has pledged to continue its attacks on Israeli forces within Lebanese territory.
