Israeli forces attacked southern Lebanon on Tuesday. Four people died and 127 were injured. The strikes hit buildings near Jabal Amel hospital in Tyre. Lebanon's health ministry reported the casualties. This happened on Monday afternoon. The attack came after a partial ceasefire agreement. US President Donald Trump announced the deal late Monday. He reports Israeli forces would not bomb Beirut. This was in exchange for Hezbollah not attacking Israel. The Israeli military said it intercepted two rockets fired into northern Israel. Hezbollah said its fighters attacked Israeli forces. Officials in Lebanon reported deadly Israeli strikes.
The impact on the area outside the hospital was severe. Chunks of concrete and twisted metal covered the ground. Damaged cars beeped. Downed electrical wires crackled. Streets were eerily quiet. Few people were visible. A woman cried, looking at her destroyed apartment building. She said she used to live there. Dr. Wael Mroueh, the hospital's director, described the suddenness of the attack. "We were working with patients and displaced people. Business was as usual, and suddenly, 'boom'," he said. He denied there was a military target nearby. He accused Israel of targeting journalists and medical staff. He stated Israel wants to force them out of their country.
Inside the hospital, damage was evident. Corridors held broken glass. Ceiling panels had fallen. Incubators were cracked. A baby named Fares was born just four hours before the blast. He slept in a blue blanket. His mother recovered nearby. His grandmother, Amal, showed him off. She said life is hard but they must endure. She stated Fares needs to defend his country. The Israeli military released a statement. It said it attacked "Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure". The military admitted the attack damaged the hospital. It stressed the hospital was not specifically targeted. Israel accused Hezbollah of operating among civilians. It did not provide proof for this claim.
Lebanon's health ministry states 128 paramedics and health workers have died. It also reported 159 attacks on ambulances and medical sites. These incidents occurred over the last three months. Israeli strikes followed an evacuation order in southern Lebanon. Lebanon's civil defence agency reported another Israeli strike on Tuesday. It hit their centre in Kfar Sir. This caused damage but no casualties. Photos showed twisted metal beams. Debris covered the floor. A dentist was killed with his daughter and son. This happened in a drone strike near Nabatieh. The Israeli military issued a new evacuation order for Nabatieh town on Tuesday afternoon.
It warned of forceful action. This would be against Hezbollah for violating the ceasefire agreement. The Israeli foreign ministry said Hezbollah launched multiple missile and drone attacks. These were from Lebanon against Israeli communities. Hezbollah's military wing said its fighters targeted Israeli tanks and troops. This happened in southern Lebanese towns. They used drones, missiles, and shells. Hezbollah did not mention cross-border attacks. Lebanon joined the war on March 2. This was after Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel. This was in retaliation for an Israeli strike. This strike killed Iran's supreme leader. Israel responded with air campaigns. It also launched a ground invasion in the south. This has intensified recently. Over 3,468 people have been killed in Lebanon since the war began. This figure from Lebanon's health ministry does not separate combatants from civilians. The UN reports over one million people are displaced in Lebanon. Israeli evacuation orders cover more than one-eighth of the country. Israel says 25 soldiers and four civilians have died. Beaufort Castle was captured by Israeli forces on Sunday.
