BEIRUT, September 7, 2026: At least 11 people, including two children and two medics, were killed in Israeli strikes on the southern Lebanese town of Kfar Rumman, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported on Monday.

The strikes came amid renewed Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon despite a June ceasefire intended to halt fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. The latest violence has raised fresh concerns about the stability of the truce and the risk of further escalation along the Israel-Lebanon border.

Residential building hit in Kfar Rumman

According to the NNA, Israeli warplanes struck a residential building in Kfar Rumman shortly after midnight, killing nine people. The victims included two children, while five other people were reported wounded in the attack.

A separate Israeli drone strike targeted a civilian vehicle in the town, killing two medics who were inside the car, the Lebanese state news agency reported.

The strikes reportedly took place without an online evacuation warning from the Israeli military for the locations that were hit. The Israeli military had not immediately responded to questions about the attacks, including whether it knew that civilians, children or medics were present at the targeted sites.

Israel-Hezbollah tensions remain high

The latest attacks come as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah remain high despite the June ceasefire. Israel has intensified its military activity in southern Lebanon in recent days, while Hezbollah has continued to be involved in attacks and counterattacks in the wider conflict.

Lebanon reported that at least seven people were killed in Israeli strikes on Sunday, a day before the latest casualties in Kfar Rumman. Other areas of southern Lebanon, including Nabatieh and Arab Salim, were also reportedly hit.

The Israeli military has also issued evacuation warnings for some areas before carrying out strikes. However, Reuters reported that no such online evacuation warning appeared to have been issued before the strikes in Kfar Rumman.

More than 4,300 reported killed since March

The latest escalation is part of a broader conflict that has continued to affect southern Lebanon since Hezbollah launched rockets toward Israel on March 2, according to Reuters.

Israeli strikes on Lebanon have reportedly killed more than 4,300 people since the escalation began, while Israeli forces have maintained positions in parts of southern Lebanon and continued military operations in areas they consider part of a security zone.

The continued fighting has complicated efforts to implement the June ceasefire and has increased pressure on Lebanese authorities and international mediators to prevent the conflict from widening.

Civilian casualties raise humanitarian concerns

The deaths of children and medics in the latest strikes are likely to intensify concerns over the impact of the conflict on civilians and emergency responders.

The reported attack on the residential building in Kfar Rumman highlights the risks faced by families living in southern Lebanon, where Israeli military operations and Hezbollah activity have continued despite the ceasefire.

With tensions remaining high and strikes continuing, fears are growing that renewed violence could undermine the fragile truce and trigger another major escalation between Israel and Hezbollah.

The situation remains developing, and casualty figures could change as Lebanese authorities continue assessing the aftermath of the strikes.
