What the report says

Israeli air attacks on southern Lebanon killed at least four people and wounded 20 others on Sunday, according to Al Jazeera’s report citing Lebanon’s National News Agency and Health Ministry. The strikes began at dawn and hit several towns and areas, including Nabatieh, Arab Salim, Nabatieh al-Fawqa and Kfar Reman.

In Arab Salim, two women were killed and six people were wounded after an air attack followed a forced displacement order for a building in the town, the report said. The Health Ministry said at least two more people were killed in a strike on Nabatieh al-Fawqa. Other attacks damaged or destroyed homes and public property in Nabatieh city and Kfar Reman, including a historical building, the home of a former mayor and part of a municipal park.

Israel said the strikes were a response to Hezbollah launching two drones toward its forces in southern Lebanon, calling that action a violation. Lebanon has continued to report Israeli strikes, shelling and demolitions despite a truce, and the article says the conflict has killed more than 4,300 people in Lebanon since March. Israeli media also reported that the military may be considering a pullback and redeployment near the border, though no political approval has been given.
