At least 39 people were killed in a fresh wave of Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon, the country’s health ministry said, as hostilities between Israeli forces and Hezbollah persist despite a ceasefire announcement.

One of the deadliest strikes hit the southern town of Saksakiyeh, where at least seven people, including a child, were killed and 15 others injured, among them three children, according to the ministry.

The Israeli military said it targeted Hezbollah operatives using a structure for military purposes and acknowledged reports of civilian casualties. It added that precautions were taken to minimise harm to civilians, including the use of precision weapons and aerial surveillance, and that the incident is under review.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported multiple Israeli strikes across southern regions on Saturday.

In another incident, an Israeli drone strike in Nabatieh targeted a motorbike carrying a Syrian man and his 12-year-old daughter. The health ministry said the pair were hit in successive strikes, killing the father and critically injuring the girl, who was undergoing surgery.

Hezbollah also launched a drone attack into northern Israel, wounding three Israeli soldiers, one of them seriously, according to the Israeli military.

Clashes between Israel and Hezbollah have continued since a ceasefire deal announced on April 16. Israel says its strikes are aimed at Hezbollah-linked targets, while the group has responded with rocket and drone attacks.

According to Lebanon’s health ministry, more than 120 people have been killed in Israeli attacks over the past week, including women and children, though it does not distinguish between civilians and combatants.

Israeli forces continue to occupy parts of southern Lebanon along the border, aiming to establish what they describe as a Hezbollah-free buffer zone. Reports indicate widespread destruction in some villages, drawing concern from rights groups.

Since early March, nearly 2,800 people have been killed in Lebanon, while Israeli authorities report 17 soldiers and three civilians killed in related violence on both sides of the border.​

Two Bangladeshi expatriates were killed in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon on Monday.

Another Bangladeshi expatriate was killed in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon early today.

The victim was Shuvo Das, 22, son of Suranjan Das and Shikha Rani Das of Shreerampur village in Satkhira’s Kalaroa upazila. He was the second among three sons and one daughter.

The attack took place around 2:00am (Bangladesh time) in the Zebdine area of Nabatieh district in southern Lebanon.

The Bangladesh Embassy in Beirut informed the family about the incident this morning, Shuvo’s elder brother Shanto Das told The Daily Star.

“We don’t have any land of our own. My father drives a rickshaw van. Shuvo was sent to Lebanon in 2024 with a loan to support the family. He worked on a cattle farm there. This morning, I received a call from the embassy that my brother had been killed in a drone strike,” Shanto said.

The deceased’s mother, Shikha Rani Das, said, “I spoke with my son on Monday night and asked him to come home next month. He told me, ‘Ma, I will come at the end of the year.’ Who knew that would be our last conversation?”

She added, “I could not see my son alive. Now, all I want is for his body to be brought back to the country.”

Family members said Shuvo could not continue his studies after SSC exams and went abroad, hoping to ease his family’s financial hardship.

HM Shaheen, officer-in-charge of Kalaroa Police Station, said they are in contact with the family of the deceased.

With Shuvo, three people from Satkhira have now been killed in Israeli drone strikes in Lebanon.

Earlier on Monday, two Bangladeshis were killed in a drone strike in the Zebdine area of southern Lebanon. The victims were Shafiqul Islam of Bhaluka Chandpur village in Satkhira Sadar upazila and Md Nahidul Islam of Kadakati village in Ashashuni upazila of the same district.​

Israeli strikes on Lebanon have killed 380 people since a ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war began on April 17, Lebanon’s health minister Rakan Nassereddine told a press conference on Tuesday.

The overall toll in Israeli strikes since the war erupted between Israel and Hezbollah on March 2 has reached 2,882 people including 279 women and 200 children, he added.

Since the ceasefire, ‘380 people have been killed and 1,122 wounded,’ Nassereddine said.

A ministry official said that the toll includes 39 women and 22 children.

Under the terms of the truce released by Washington, Israel reserves the right to act against ‘planned, imminent or on-going attacks’.

In addition to carrying out on-going airstrikes, Israeli troops have been operating behind a so-called ‘yellow line’ that runs around 10 kilometres north of the border between the two countries.

Some 108 emergency and health workers are among the overall death toll while 249 others have been wounded and ‘16 hospitals have been damaged’ since the start of the conflict, Nassereddine said.

‘It’s a massacre... there are no armed men or fighters in these (ambulance) vehicles, just medical equipment and wounded, contrary to what Israel says,’ he added.

Israel has accused Hezbollah of using ambulances and medical facilities for military purposes, an accusation the group denies.

Hezbollah drew Lebanon into the Middle East conflict on March 2 when it launched rockets at Israel to avenge the killing of Iran’s supreme leader in US-Israeli strikes.

Israel responded with massive strikes and a ground invasion in the country’s south.

The Iran-backed Hezbollah says its fighters are included in the government tolls.

Lebanese leaders on Monday urged the United States to pressure Israel to halt its attacks, which have intensified in recent days.

The appeal came as Lebanese and Israeli representatives are set to meet later this week in Washington for a third round of direct talks.​
