Israel Strikes Lebanon, Kills 13

Israel launched a series of deadly strikes in southern Lebanon, including Habboush, Zrariyeh, and Ain Baal, resulting in 13 deaths and numerous injuries. These strikes occurred despite an April 17 ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah. Israel's military stated it would act 'forcefully' against Hezbollah's 'violations of the ceasefire agreement' and issued evacuation orders for towns like Habboush. Israeli troops are also operating within a 'Yellow Line' inside Lebanon's border, carrying out demolitions of buildings, including a monastery and a school in Yaroun. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for attacks on Israeli troops and sites, asserting they were in response to Israeli ceasefire violations. The conflict has led to over 2,600 deaths in Lebanon since March 2, including emergency workers. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies expressed concern over the safety of its volunteers.
