Beirut: An Israeli airstrike on the southern Lebanese village of Deir Qanoun al-Nahr killed six people, including a child and two rescue workers. The deadly targeted strike occurred on Friday despite the presence of a highly fragile, pre-existing ceasefire intended to halt active hostilities.

According to a formal statement by the Lebanese Health Ministry, the six individuals martyred in the village bombardment included two dedicated rescuers from the Risala Scouts association. One of the deceased rescue personnel was also actively working as a freelance photographer. Additionally, the ministry confirmed that a young Syrian girl was among those killed by the explosive blast.

The fatal incident underscores the extreme fragility of the ongoing U.S.-brokered truce. Neither the Israeli military nor Hezbollah has fully halted operations since the temporary peace agreement was implemented, with both sides routinely exchanging fire.
