Israel carried out airstrikes on southern Lebanon on August 5, 2026, and issued an evacuation order for the affected area, the BBC and the Financial Times reported. It was the first such order in over a month.
Lebanon's health ministry told the BBC that one person was killed in the strikes. The Israeli military said the operation was a response to a Hezbollah ceasefire violation.
The Financial Times said the strikes came amid renewed efforts to reduce regional tensions.
