Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon killed six people and prompted fresh evacuation orders for the area, Al Jazeera reports. The attacks, it says, are expanding despite a ceasefire arrangement that is supposed to be in place.
Al Jazeera attributes the information on the deaths and evacuation calls to sources on the ground and to officials. Any Israeli rationale for the strikes is relayed as that side's stated position.
The report indicates that the tension in the area is displacing civilians and adding to pressure on the humanitarian situation. It notes that the parties' accounts at times diverge and that independent verification can be difficult.
