Israeli Strikes Kill at Least 12 People in Lebanon

HeadlineFeb 23, 2026

Israeli strikes have killed at least 12 people in eastern and southern Lebanon, in another violation of the ceasefire deal with Hezbollah that went into effect November 2024. Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health said at least two people were killed in an Israeli attack on the Ein el-Hilweh camp, the country’s largest Palestinian refugee camp. The Israeli military claimed to target Hamas; the group denies that it has training facilities in Lebanon’s refugee camps. According to the U.N., the Israeli military has launched more than 10,000 attacks since it agreed to a so-called ceasefire with Hezbollah.
