Fifteen people, including two paramedics and a Lebanese soldier, were killed and 13 others wounded on Tuesday in 59 Israeli attacks across Lebanon, according to Anadolu Agency.

The reported attacks included air strikes and artillery shelling despite a ceasefire declared on 17 April.

Israeli aircraft carried out 23 raids in the Tyre district, targeting areas including Tyre, Al-Mansouri, Srifa, Arzoun and Al-Bazouriyah.

The report said a strike in Tayr Debba killed a Syrian national and wounded his wife, while another attack in Al-Mansouri injured several people. In the Nabatieh district, 12 raids reportedly targeted Nabatieh and surrounding towns including Jebchit and Deir al-Zahrani.

According to Anadolu, one strike in Jebchit killed three people, including a Lebanese army soldier, while another in Deir al-Zahrani killed two people after hitting a house.

A separate raid in Nabatieh allegedly struck a civil defence team attempting to rescue an injured person, killing two paramedics and the wounded civilian while injuring a female paramedic.
