Israeli airstrikes killed at least eleven civilians in southern Lebanon on Friday, shattering a fragile US-brokered ceasefire just days after Lebanese and Israeli envoys announced a conditional truce framework. The attacks, which included strikes on the historic port city of Tyre, came as Hezbollah reiterated its rejection of the agreement and Israel issued fresh evacuation orders for three villages near the border.

Civil defence sources in Tyre reported seven fatalities overnight, including three children and two women, in strikes that struck residential areas and a hospital vicinity . Hours later, Israeli forces killed four more people in additional raids across southern Lebanon, according to Lebanon’s state media . The Israeli military also warned residents of Sarafand, Arnaya, Anqoun, and Kfar Fila to evacuate immediately, citing imminent operations against Hezbollah positions .

The ceasefire framework, announced earlier this week, had proposed “pilot zones” along the border to be secured by the Lebanese army, contingent on Hezbollah halting cross-border fire and withdrawing from the frontier. But Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah dismissed the proposal as “absurd, humiliating, and insulting,” demanding instead a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon . The militia’s rejection has left the truce in tatters, with diplomats in Washington scrambling to salvage the agreement before its April framework expires in early July.

Displaced families in Beirut, many having fled eastern and southern Lebanon months ago, expressed little faith in the ceasefire’s durability. “We have no safe place,” said Um Hassan, a mother of four living in a makeshift camp in the capital. “Every time they say peace is coming, the bombs fall again.”

The escalation follows a pattern of tit-for-tat violence that has killed more than 3,500 people in Lebanon since October 2023, according to Palestinian Liberation Organization figures . With both sides digging in, the risk of a broader regional conflict appears to be rising, even as international mediators urge restraint.
