Israeli air strikes and attacks in Lebanon have killed 4,106 people and wounded 12,153 others between March 2 and June 21, Lebanese Health Ministry's Public Health Emergency Operations Center said on Sunday.
Israeli drones dropped sound bombs in the city of Nabatieh and an Israeli tank opened fire toward the outskirts of the village of Hadatha in southern Lebanon on Sunday, marking the first reported violation of a ceasefire announced one day before, according to Lebanon's National News Agency.
Meanwhile, Lebanese Civil Defense teams recovered six bodies from the rubble and transported eight wounded people to hospitals in Nabatieh on Sunday during search and rescue operations.
In a statement published by Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said Lebanon's priorities remain securing a full Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon, deploying the Lebanese army, facilitating the return of displaced residents, securing the release of detainees, and launching reconstruction efforts with Arab and international support.
For its part, Hezbollah criticized the Lebanese delegation's direct negotiations with the United States in Washington, claiming they were conducted under U.S. pressure and violated Lebanon's sovereignty.
A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect on Saturday evening following two days of intense Israeli airstrikes across southern Lebanon and other parts of the country.
