At least eight dead and 15 injured in Israeli attacks on Lebanon a day after negotiations

At least eight people have died and another 15 have been injured due to Israeli attacks against different towns in southern and eastern Lebanon, despite a ceasefire reached in mid-April and agreed again after a round of negotiations between delegations from the two countries held this week in Washington.

The Lebanese Ministry of Health has confirmed that five of the victims have died after a bombing carried out by the Israeli Army against the city of Sahmar, in the Bekka Valley, which also left one injured.

Meanwhile, Israel’s attacks against southern Lebanon have caused three deaths and seven injuries, including three minors, in the district of Tire, indicated in a statement carried by the state news agency NNA.

The Ministry has also confirmed that an attack by Israeli troops in the early hours of the morning in Arab al Jal, in the Sidon district, has left seven people injured, including two children.

This same Thursday, the ministry has raised the death toll to 3,526, including 129 health professionals, and 10,733 injured by Israel’s attacks against Lebanon since March 2, the day the Israeli Army and the Shiite militia party Hezbollah resumed their clashes.
