Smoke rises from the site of an Israeli airstrike that targeted the southern Lebanese village of Zibdine on May 2, 2026. Lebanon's health ministry said 13 people were killed on May 1, 2026, in Israeli strikes on the country's south, including in a town where Israel's army had issued an evacuation order despite a ceasefire. 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 Abbas Fakih / AFP via Getty Images)
