Israeli airstrikes killed at least 14 people in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, according to Lebanon's National News Agency, while Hezbollah announced a series of attacks against military sites and Israeli settlements. Hezbollah reported that its fighters launched attacks on several Israeli sites and attacked concentrations of Israeli soldiers and vehicles, using rockets, drones, and artillery projectiles. Ahmad al-Hajjar, Lebanon's Minister of Interior and Municipalities, stated that the country is being subjected to destructive Israeli attacks as part of an imposed war, and expressed his hope for the support of Arab countries and the international community to stop the war and back the Lebanese government's decision to extend its authority over all its territory using its own forces. Lebanon's Ministry of Health reported that the total death toll since March 2 has risen to 1,318, with 3,935 injured, according to Argentina's News Agency. Cross-border clashes between Hezbollah and Israel have continued along the Lebanon-Israel border since March 2, when Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel for the first time since the ceasefire took effect on November 27, 2024, leading to an intensification of Israeli airstrikes in southern and eastern Lebanon.
