Two people were killed and 17 others, including seven women, wounded in Israeli strikes targeting several areas in southern Lebanon on Monday, according to Lebanese official and media reports.
An Israeli airstrike targeted a residential apartment in the Tyre district, killing one person and wounding 16 others, Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported.
In a separate incident, an Israeli drone strike killed a paramedic and injured another in the village of Yater, according to NNA.
Meanwhile, the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah said it shot down an Israeli drone, targeted Israeli soldiers in multiple locations with rockets and artillery, and launched rockets and attack drones toward the Israeli city of Nahariyya.
Also on Monday, NNA reported that Israeli forces attempted to advance into Lebanon at several points along the southern border.
Hezbollah announced the launch of rockets from Lebanon toward Israel on March 2, the first time since a ceasefire was declared on Nov. 27, 2024. Israel subsequently launched a military campaign against the group, involving intensive airstrikes on several areas in southern and eastern Lebanon, in addition to Beirut's southern suburbs.
