Israeli Attacks on Lebanon Kill More Civilians, Including Anti-Hezbollah Politician

HeadlineApr 07, 2026

The United Nations says the number of people displaced in Lebanon has grown to over 1.1 million, as Israeli forces continue to invade Lebanon’s south while bombing Beirut and other sites across the country. Hezbollah responded with waves of rocket attacks on northern Israel. Lebanon’s Health Ministry reports one Israeli airstrike on Monday targeted a civilian car in southern Lebanon, killing four civilians, while another strike on the town of Haris killed two civilians. This follows a bloody Easter Sunday that saw Israel kill more than three dozen people, among them Lebanese politician Pierre Mouawad, his wife and another woman, killed in an Israeli strike on an apartment building east of Beirut. Mouawad was an official in the Lebanese Forces, a longtime adversary of Hezbollah.
