Israel Launches Deadly Strikes in Southern Lebanon and Gaza
Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon killed more than 30 people on May 1, 2026, including two children. The strikes followed a Hezbollah drone attack that injured 12 Israeli soldiers in northern Israel. Concurrently, airstrikes in Gaza killed at least four Palestinians in Deir al-Balah and along Salahudeen Road. Israel issued new forced evacuation orders for villages north of the border 'Yellow Line,' indicating an expansion of military control beyond previous ceasefire agreements.
