Israeli Airstrikes Kill at Least 11 People in Lebanon

HeadlineAug 17, 2026

In Lebanon, Israeli airstrikes killed at least 11 people, including children, on Saturday. It was one of the deadliest Israeli attacks on Lebanon since the so-called ceasefire with Hezbollah took effect in June. Israel has been striking Lebanon since early March after Hezbollah fired into Israel in retaliation for the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Israeli strikes have killed more than 4,300 people in Lebanon this year. According to the U.N., more than 1 million people have been forced to flee their homes.
