Israel’s Latest Attacks on Lebanon Kill 9 as U.N.-Backed Report Warns 1.2 Million Face Hunger

HeadlineApr 30, 2026

Lebanon’s National News Agency says Israeli airstrikes have killed at least nine people across southern Lebanon, with homes targeted and reduced to rubble. Israel’s latest attacks come despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire that was declared on April 16 and extended last week. On Wednesday, a U.N.-backed report found more than 1.2 million people — or nearly a quarter of Lebanon’s population — will face acute hunger this year due to “conflict, displacement and economic pressures.”
