Lebanon bid farewell to 17 people who were killed Thursday in a series of Israeli raids on several towns in the south of the country. President Joseph Aoun denounced the "continuous violations" of the Hebrew state despite the implementation of a ceasefire with Hezbollah, which has been in effect since April 17.

The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that raids on the towns of Jibshit, Toul, and Harouf “led to an initial toll of 9 martyrs, including two children and five women, and 23 wounded, including 8 children and 7 women.”

The official National News Agency said that the raid on Jebshit led to the killing of four people: a mother, a father, and their two children.

Later, the ministry reported that six people had been killed in the town of Zabdin. The Lebanese army also announced that a soldier was killed "along with a number of his family members as a result of an enemy Israeli raid that targeted their home in the town of Kafr Rumman." The Ministry of Health has not yet issued a toll for this raid.

Joseph Aoun said during his meeting with a delegation from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, "Israeli violations continue in the south despite the announcement of a ceasefire, as well as the demolition and bulldozing of homes and places of worship, while the number of victims and wounded is rising day after day."
