Israeli Drone Strikes Near Beirut Kill 4 and Southern Airstrikes Kill at Least 13

The strikes came amid continued Israel-Hezbollah attacks despite a ceasefire that began April 17, with Lebanon’s Health Ministry reporting children among the dead.

  • On Saturday, three Israeli drone strikes near Beirut killed four people, while a series of airstrikes in southern Lebanon killed at least 13, including a man and his 12-year-old daughter, state media reported.
  • Despite a 10-day ceasefire that began April 17 after talks in Washington, both Israel and Hezbollah have continued daily attacks, marking a significant breach of the truce.
  • The Health Ministry detailed strikes across multiple southern villages: seven killed in Saksakiyeh, three in Bourj Rahhal, and one in Maifadoun. A separate strike in Nabatiyeh killed a Syrian man and his 12-year-old daughter.
  • Lebanon's Prime Minister Nawaf Salam held talks Saturday in Damascus with interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa to discuss strengthening regional security cooperation and bolstering relations between the two neighbors.
  • Salam's remarks indirectly addressed Hezbollah's past military involvement in Syria's civil war, signaling an attempt to reset regional relations and prevent Lebanon from being used as a proxy in broader conflicts.
