The UN children’s agency reports that during the past week, an average of 11 children have been killed or wounded daily in Lebanon, even as a ceasefire remains officially in effect.
Israeli military operations expanded throughout the country, with intense bombardments targeting communities and villages in Lebanon’s southern region during overnight hours from Wednesday into Thursday. Israeli forces designated a new portion of this area “a combat zone.”
Thursday saw an Israeli military strike target a structure in Beirut’s southern suburbs, occurring despite the ceasefire agreement that has proven unable to stop ongoing hostilities between Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon.
