The Israeli military also struck a residential area in the town of Deir al-Zahrani in southern Lebanon overnight after it issued a forced evacuation order. The army says it targeted a building near a Hezbollah facility, which it claims was used to launch an explosive drone.<\/p>\n
The attacks come a day after at least seven people were killed and 20 others were wounded in Israeli air raids on the nearby town of Arab Salim<\/a>, also in the Nabatieh district.<\/p>\n Attacks have continued despite the framework agreement, which was signed by Israel and Lebanon in June.<\/p>\n That plan includes a \u201cpilot zone\u201d plan, which are meant to act as a test area for the Lebanese army to disarm Hezbollah and for the Israelis to withdraw. However, Israel still occupies dozens of villages in southern Lebanon and has refused further withdrawals, leading to a \u201cstalled\u201d diplomatic process, notes Al Jazeera\u2019s Zeina Khodr.<\/p>\n Reporting from Kfar Reman, Khodr said \u201cuncertainty and fear\u201d are now the prevailing feelings in southern Lebanon, as people had started returning to the region and rebuilding their homes with the hope that attacks would stop after the Lebanon-Israel deal was signed in June.<\/p>\n \u201cThe feeling here is that Israel is trying to impose or establish new rules of engagement,\u201d Khodr said. \u201cPeople just do not know what is next. There\u2019s been a wave of Israeli attacks over the past 48 hours. Civilians are being killed. Residential homes are being destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRecovery efforts by civil defence workers are continuing. They\u2019ve been here throughout the night, but it\u2019s no longer a rescue operation,\u201d Khodr added. \u201cIt\u2019s a recovery operation.\u201d<\/p>\n Israeli strikes \u2060on Lebanon have killed more than 4,350 people and wounded over 12,300 since the conflict escalated in early March, according to Lebanon\u2019s Health Ministry.<\/p>\n The ministry said in a report<\/a> on Wednesday that there had been 179 Israeli attacks on Lebanese ambulance crews since March 2, killing 135 healthcare workers.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/afp_6a9ec020d622-1788788768.jpg\")
