6 Dead in Israeli Strike on Lebanon’s Bekaa

The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported the death of six individuals following an Israeli airstrike on the town of Al-Khreibeh in the Bekaa region. 

The attack is part of ongoing Israeli operations that have resulted in widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure, forcing many residents to flee their homes.

Israeli airstrikes continue to target various areas in Lebanon, causing significant damage and escalating the humanitarian crisis. Reports of a potential ceasefire have emerged, though they remain unconfirmed, raising hopes of halting the violence.

Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, expressed optimism about a possible ceasefire agreement with Israel. Speaking to reporters, Mikati stated that he previously thought such an agreement was unlikely until after the U.S. presidential elections.

Media reports suggest that a truce agreement could be finalized within days. According to Israel’s Public Broadcasting Corporation, the draft agreement proposes a 60-day ceasefire as an initial step toward broader negotiations.

The situation remains volatile, with mounting casualties and significant pressure on humanitarian resources in affected areas. The international community continues to monitor developments closely, with hopes for a peaceful resolution.
