At least eight people were killed in Israeli air attacks on southern Lebanon, according to Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency. The attacks, which occurred on Wednesday, targeted the villages of Doueir, Tibnin, and Burj Shemali, with one person also killed on the outskirts of Shebaa. These strikes represent a violation of a recently extended "ceasefire" agreement that is in effect until early July. The attacks follow a significant wave of Israeli air strikes on Tuesday that killed at least 16 people, including women and children. Hezbollah reported clashes with Israeli troops in several locations in southern Lebanon. Israeli forces have also expanded their operations into the western Bekaa Valley.
