Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon killed four people, Lebanese state media and the health ministry said, as Israel’s military said it had killed

One person was killed and another injured in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon early Sunday, in the latest violation of a ceasefire agreement, the Health Ministry said. A statement by the ministry's emergency operations center said the attack targeted a car in the town of Yater in Bint Jbeil district.

Israel launched new strikes against Hamas and promised ‘increasing military force’ after talks on further hostage releases stalled. Early Friday morning, Israel’s Prime Minister’s office said it instructed the army to strike Hamas across Gaza.
