At least five people were killed in Israeli airstrikes across southern Lebanon on Tuesday, according to local officials. The strikes hit multiple areas despite a ceasefire agreement that took effect last week. The attacks targeted what Israel described as military infrastructure linked to Hezbollah. Lebanese authorities reported the deaths occurred in separate villages, including a strike on a vehicle. The ceasefire, brokered by the United States and France, ended a two-month conflict. Both sides have accused each other of violations since the truce began. Israel said the strikes were a response to "suspicious activity" near the border. Hezbollah has not yet commented on the incident. The United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon urged both parties to respect the ceasefire. The death toll is the highest reported since the truce took hold.
