News Center_Various parts of Lebanon, particularly in the south, are witnessing escalating tensions as shelling continues despite the announced ceasefire. Evacuation operations continue in circle of confrontations.

The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli attacks since March has risen to 4,211 killed and 12,173 wounded, according to data from the Emergency Health Operations Center.

The National News Agency reported that an Israeli drone targeted a car on the Tallet Al-Dabsha road toward Dahrat Kfar Roumman in the Nabatieh district, resulting in the deaths of two people. The drone alson dropped two sonic bombs on the town of Baraashit in the Bint Jbeli district.

The Israeli forces demanded that residents of the town of Ain Arab in the Marjayoun district—only one day after the road was reopened and residents had returned to their homes—evacuate their homes again, plunging the town into a state of anxiety and anticipation amid new Israeli threats and concerns over the fate of homes whose owners had only recently returned. In a separate incident, two people were killed and another wounded in the town of Nabatieh Al-Fawqa in southern Lebanon after Israeli forces opened fire on a group of people.

Despite the ceasefire announced on April 17, Israeli shelling continues daily on sites in Lebanon, resulting in deaths and injuries. Israel also continues to issue warnings to dozens of villages in the south to evacuate residents, and to detonate and demolish homes there.
