Israeli strikes kill 14 in Lebanon amid ongoing ceasefire

Israeli strikes killed 14 people and wounded 37 on ​Sunday, Lebanon's health ministry said, as the Israeli military warned residents to leave seven towns beyond the "buffer zone" ‌it occupied before a ceasefire that has failed to fully halt hostilities.
Sunday's death toll included two children and two women, the health ministry added in a statement. Israel said one of its soldiers was also killed as a fragile ceasefire came under further strain.

The U.S.-mediated ceasefire, which started on ​April 16 and has been ​extended to mid-May, has brought ⁠a significant reduction in hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, though both sides have continued to fire at each other, trading blame over breaches.
More than 2,500 people have been killed in Israeli strikes ​since the most recent war between Hezbollah and Israel began on March 2, days after the ​U.S. and Israel launched ⁠strikes against Iran.
The toll includes 277 women, 177 children and 100 medics, according to Lebanon's health ministry.
