This photograph taken from the southern Lebanese area of Tyre shows smoke rising from an Israeli controlled explosion in the village of Chamaa on May 1, 2026. Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon killed at least 17 people on April 30, 2026, the Health Ministry announced, despite the ceasefire that has been in effect since April 17. Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war on March 2 when Tehran-backed militant group Hezbollah launched attacks on Israel to avenge the killing of the Iranian leader. Israel has responded with broad strikes across Lebanon and a ground offensive. (Photo by Kawnat HAJU / AFP via Getty Images)
