Israeli strikes on Lebanon kill at least three despite ceasefire

2026-09-04 12:16 UTC – 2026-09-05 10:19 UTC

Neutral summary

Israeli forces carried out a series of strikes on five locations in southern and eastern Lebanon late on Friday, killing at least three people and wounding 23, according to the Lebanese health ministry. The strikes were launched in response to a Hezbollah drone attack on Israeli troops operating in the security zone in southern Lebanon; the drone was intercepted with no casualties. Earlier on Thursday, Israel announced it had taken “operational control” of the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge in the Nabatieh district, saying it had cleared Hezbollah fighters from tunnels beneath it. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the capture a “strategic success,” while a Hezbollah lawmaker downplayed the site’s importance. Despite the ceasefire, Israeli drones also struck the town of Mansouri near Sour, targeting several homes, according to the National News Agency.
