Over the weekend, strikes killed five other people, with Israel accusing its Iran-backed foe Hezbollah of rearming. "An Israeli strike on a car in the area of Baissariyeh killed one person," the health ministry said Monday. An AFP journalist saw a bombed out car on the road linking the cities of Sidon and Tyre, with traffic piling up as rescuers worked to retrieve the remains. Despite a ceasefire in place since November 2024, Israel has kept up attacks on Lebanon, where it continues to hold five positions. The European Union on Saturday joined a growing chorus of condemnation of Israel's intensified strikes, urging "to cease all actions that violate... the ceasefire agreement reached a year ago". It came after Lebanese President Joseph Aoun accused Israel of rebuffing its overtures for diplomacy. (Bssnews)
