Israeli airstrikes killed at least 39 people across Lebanon on 9 May 2026, according to Lebanon's health ministry, including at least seven in a single strike on the southern town of Saksakiyeh. The IDF stated it was targeting Hezbollah infrastructure and personnel, while Hezbollah retaliated with a drone strike that wounded three Israeli soldiers. Fighting has continued since a US-brokered ceasefire was announced on 16 April, with over 2,795 people killed in Lebanon since hostilities re-escalated in early March 2026 following US and Israeli strikes on Iran.
