At least 17 people have been killed and several others wounded in fresh Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon on Friday despite a temporary ceasefire, according to the state media.

The National News Agency (NNA), citing the health ministry, reported on Friday that an Israeli strike targeted the town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa, killing two people and injuring 10 others.

Meanwhile, rescue teams recovered five bodies from the rubble of a building in Kfar Roummane of Nabatieh hit in an overnight strike.

The agency said civil defence crews and ambulance teams from the Islamic Risala Scout Association cleared debris in Nabatieh after the strike. The building had been targeted by Israeli warplanes.

In the town of Deir Qanoun Ras al-Ain, two people were killed and two others wounded in an Israeli air strike, while a Lebanese woman was killed and four others were wounded after a house was shelled in the town of Ain Baal, east of Tyre.

Six people, including a child and a woman, were killed, and eight others were wounded. Additionally, another child and a woman were also injured in the town of Habbouch in Nabatieh district, the ministry said.

Another person was killed in an Israeli air strike targeting the town of Borj Qalaouiye in the Bint Jbeil district.

In response to Hezbollah's retaliation to the Iran war, Israel has waged an offensive in Lebanon since March 2, killing more than 2,600 people, and displacing over 1 million.

A 10-day ceasefire that began on April 17 was later extended until May 17, but Israel continues to violate it daily through air strikes and the demolition of homes.

It also maintains a so-called "buffer zone" in southern Lebanon, saying it is meant to prevent attacks from Hezbollah. An earlier truce was reached in November 2024.
