Israeli strikes kill 14 in Lebanon, Israel warns residents to leave towns beyond ‘buffer zone’

Israeli airstrikes killed 14 people and wounded dozens in Lebanon, according to the health ministry, as tensions continue despite a ceasefire.

Israel Defense Forces said it targeted Hezbollah fighters and infrastructure, accusing the group of violating the truce.

Residents in several towns were warned to evacuate as clashes intensified beyond the buffer zone.

Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would continue acting to ensure its security, while Hezbollah vowed to keep attacking in response to alleged violations, Reuters has reported.

The ceasefire has reduced but not stopped fighting, with both sides continuing to exchange fire and blame.
