Israel struck southern Lebanon with a second wave of airstrikes on Saturday, upping the ante after rockets from Lebanese territory hit northern Israel. The Israeli Defence Ministry said that the strikes struck Hezbollah positions in dozens, though the group said it was not involved in the rocket attacks.
The heaviest rocket fire since the November 2023 ceasefire, hit residential districts in the southern city of Tyre, kicked a three-person death and injured others. Bilal Kachmar, an official from Tyre’s Disaster Management Unit stated that two people died and two more were injured as an Israeli missiles blown up an apartment in Al-Raml neighborhood. According to a security source, a Hezbollah official was that in the strike, but his fate is unclear.
Lebanese authorities said that nine people were killed, including a child in several attacks. Prime Minister Nawaf Salam warned that the escalation risked drawing Lebanon into a wider conflict, and Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi urged the global community to push Israel to stop hostilities. 
To this chaos, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz reiterated that the Lebanese government is liable for any attacks emanating from its territory.
The UN peacekeeping force sounded the alarm over the deteriorating violence while France and Jordan urged restraint. As both sides stand refusing to give in, fears emerge that the fragile truce may altogether collapse, pushing the area back into the lengthy conflict.
