Middle East: Israel strikes southern Lebanon, accuses Hezbollah of 'blatant' ceasefire violation
Israel's military says it is conducting "precision strikes" against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, after calling on residents of Mansouri to evacuate. DW has more.
On August 5, 2026, Israel launched military strikes in southern Lebanon, accusing the militant group Hezbollah of violating a ceasefire. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed concern over a rise in executions and death sentences in Iran, with at least 56 people executed since March 19 on national security charges, including 27 linked to protests.
Iran is known for its high use of the death penalty, committing over 2,159 executions in 2022. Lebanon's state-run news agency reported one death and 12 injuries in the town of Tebnine, while about 15 families evacuated the town of Mansouri. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that they were compelled to act due to Hezbollah's blatant ceasefire violation.
