Around 97 people were killed and 133 wounded in Israeli strikes over the past 24 hours, Lebanon’s Health Ministry announced on Saturday, bringing the total since hostilities resumed on March 2 to 2,020 dead and 6,436 injured.
Lebanese media reported air raids across several southern towns, including areas in Bint Jbeil, Tyre, and Nabatieh districts, alongside phosphorus shelling in al-Tayri and al-Mansouri. A strike on Tafahata in Saida district also killed 13 people.
Hezbollah responded with a series of attacks targeting Israeli forces and military sites, citing repeated ceasefire breaches. In separate statements, the group detailed operations against troop positions in al-Bayyada, infrastructure in Shomera and Branit, the Amiad base north of Lake Tiberias, as well as Nahariya, Kiryat Shmona, Yir’on, and other border locations.

The mutual attacks come despite a two-week US-Iran ceasefire brokered by Pakistan, which Pakistani and Iranian officials state includes Lebanon, while US President Donald Trump described Israeli operations there as a separate “skirmish” linked to Hezbollah and outside the agreement.
