LEBANON – An Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon early Wednesday killed at least 8 people and injured over 20 others, as Israel continued its attacks on the country.

An air strike targeted Sidon, killing at least 8 people and injuring at least 22 others, according to the Lebanese news agency NNA.

Several other strikes targeted a position belonging to medics from the health authority in the town of Shaqra, leaving several people injured.

An artillery shelling also struck areas of Hanniyeh and Mansouri.

The news agency also reported airstrikes on the towns of Haddatha, Rab Thalathin, the Abbasiya area, Kafra and Jmeijmeh.

The attacks came hours after US President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he agreed “to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.”

However, Netanyahu’s office said the two-week ceasefire “does not include Lebanon.”

Israel has carried out airstrikes and a ground offensive in southern Lebanon since a cross-border attack by Hezbollah on March 2, despite a ceasefire that took effect in November 2024.

Lebanese authorities said that at least 1,497 people have since been killed and 4,639 others injured in the Israeli attacks.
