Israel Continues Attacks on Lebanon Even After Agreeing to Extend “Ceasefire”

HeadlineMay 21, 2026

Israel is continuing attacks on Lebanon despite the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement that was recently extended through June. Lebanon’s National News Agency reports Israeli attacks on Wednesday killed at least eight people, including five killed in an airstrike on a village near Nabatieh. Meanwhile, Lebanon’s Health Ministry says the death toll from an air raid on the town of Deir Qanoun en-Nahr has risen to 14 killed and three wounded. The strike in southern Lebanon’s Tyre district on Tuesday killed a family of 11, including three children along with their parents and grandparents.
