News Center – Despite the ceasefire agreement being in effect, tensions are escalating on the ground in many Lebanese areas, especially in the south, as Israeli raids continue, leaving many civilian casualties.

The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced on Monday evening, April 27, that Israeli raids on southern Lebanon resulted in the deaths of four people, including one woman, and the injury of 51 others, including three children, despite the ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel.

According to statistics based on Health Ministry figures, Israeli raids have killed at least 40 people in Lebanon since the fragile truce came into effect on April 17.

The Emergency Operations Center of the Lebanese Ministry of Health earlier announced that the death toll from Israeli bombing in Lebanon had risen to 2,521 killed and 7,804 wounded.

Israel targeted the towns of Al-Ghandouriyah and Majdal Selm in southern Lebanon. Israeli forces also swept the outskirts of the town of Al-Bayada in southern Lebanon with machine‑gun fire, and carried out a detonation in the town of Rab Thalateen in southern Lebanon, according to the official Lebanese National News Agency.

The humanitarian situation in Lebanon is deteriorating rapidly as demolition, shelling, and airstrikes continue, disrupting the daily lives of civilians, especially in the south. This tense reality, as a UN spokesman explained, exacerbates feelings of fear and uncertainty among thousands of families who are still wondering whether it is safe to return to their homes.

UN estimates indicate that more than 115,000 displaced people are still living in collective shelters distributed across various Lebanese areas, while local authorities confirm that nearly 50,000 housing units have been completely destroyed, leaving tens of thousands of families homeless, particularly in the south and the southern suburbs of Beirut.
