Israeli strikes kill civilians in southern Lebanon amid ceasefire violations
Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon killed at least four to seven people on September 6, 2026, including civilians, with Lebanon's health ministry reporting a hospital destroyed and government buildings damaged. Israel said it targeted Hezbollah weapons facilities and operatives in response to a Hezbollah drone attack on its troops. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called the strikes a dangerous escalation and appealed to the U.S. and international community to intervene.
