Israel Strikes Lebanon

Israeli airstrikes on Monday hit Kfar Rumman and Arab Salim in Lebanon, killing 11, including two children and two medics.
Israel said the strikes retaliated against Hezbollah’s drone attacks and issued an evacuation warning for a building in Arab Salim before bombing.

History

Historical Context

After Hezbollah’s July 12 2006 raid on Israeli soldiers sparked a 34-day war, Israel bombed more than 1,200 Lebanese sites, killing roughly 1,200 civilians and displacing about one million people before UN Security Council Resolution 1701 halted hostilities. The fragile cease-fire has left southern Lebanon vulnerable, prompting today’s Israeli strikes on Kfar Rumman and Arab Salim and renewed calls from President Michel Aoun for stronger UNIFIL enforcement.
