Israeli forces carried out air strikes on the town of Abbasieh near Tyre, killing at least four people, Lebanon’s official National News Agency reported. Rescue teams continued searching rubble for survivors. The Israeli military stated it had killed 900 Hezbollah members since an April 16 ceasefire and struck weapons storage facilities and command centers in the Tyre area and Beaufort Ridge.

It said operations advanced alongside these strikes. Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported 3,412 people killed and 10,269 wounded since the conflict with Hezbollah began on March 2.

Roads and Urban Development said more than 50 road and rail sites, including highways, tunnels, and bridges, were targeted during earlier military operations. Reconstruction efforts are under way with neighboring countries to maintain import and export routes.

Additional strikes recorded Israeli warplanes struck areas near Tyre hospital, wounding three people. An Israeli helicopter attack at a Gaza fishing port killed one person and wounded several others, according to medical officials.
