An Israeli strike in the southern Lebanese village of Abbasiyeh killed 7 and wounded others, the Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) reported on April 9, in what the state-backed media outlet called a preliminary toll.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on April 8 that its fight with the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon is not part of the two-week ceasefire deal with Iran.
