At least 17 people have been killed and 20 wounded in Israeli air strikes across southern Lebanon over the past 48 hours. One strike hit a residential area in Deir al-Zahrani after Israel issued an evacuation order, while another struck Kfar Roummane, killing at least nine people, including children and a two-month-old infant.

Israeli forces say they targeted sites linked to Hezbollah and accuse the group of launching armed drones at Israeli positions. The attacks have continued despite a US-brokered ceasefire framework between Israel and Lebanon, while residents who had returned home are again fleeing the area.

Israel says it will intensify attacks unless Hezbollah is disarmed across Lebanon, while Hezbollah says it is prepared to disarm south of the Litani River but not in the north. A diplomatic process between Lebanon and Israel has stalled, with no date set for the next round of talks.
