Lebanese media outlets relayed that dozens of Israeli airstrikes hit multiple areas across the south since the morning.

Three people were killed when another attack hit a house in Al-Breiza. From March 2 to May 1, Israel has killed 2,618 people and injured 8,094 others, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah indicated that it responded to “repeated Israeli ceasefire violations” by launching a swarm drone assault on Israeli forces in the southern town of Al-Bayyada, confirming “direct hits.” In a series of statements, the group disclosed operations on gatherings of soldiers and vehicles near the Musa Abbas complex in Bint Jbeil, and in Adshit al-Qusayr using artillery fire and explosive drones.
Hezbollah also asserted hitting an Israeli Hummer vehicle in Al-Taybeh, and a Merkava tank in Rshaf.
