In the town of Zebdin in the Nabatiyeh province, an airstrike hit a four-story residential building, killing a municipal council member, his brother, and their mother, Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) said.

Elsewhere, an Israeli strike on the town of Ramadiyeh in the Tyre district killed four people and wounded three others, Lebanon’s health ministry said.

Israeli attacks have killed at least 1,318 people in Lebanon since Israel resumed its war on the country on 2 March, per the health ministry.

The toll included 91 women, 125 children, and 53 health workers, with 3,935 other people wounded.

Israel's assaults have also displaced more than one million people, forcing thousands into increasingly overcrowded shelters across the capital, Beirut.
