Israeli Strikes in Lebanon Kill Three Despite Ceasefire

In early September 2026, Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon killed at least three people and wounded 23 others, according to the Lebanese health ministry, despite a US-brokered ceasefire that had been in place for months. The strikes came after Hezbollah launched a drone toward Israeli soldiers, and Israel announced it had taken control of the strategic Ali Al Taher ridge near the border. Reports also said Israel was considering a new 'security zone' up to 4 kilometers inside Lebanon.
