Israeli Strike in Lebanon Kills 12 People From a Single Family, Including 6 Children

(September 9, 2026)

KFAR REMMAN, Lebanon—“They are killing children. That’s what they’re doing,” Baker Malak said, pointing to the tiny coffins being carried through the streets of the town of Kfar Remman in southern Lebanon on Tuesday. He walked alongside hundreds of mourners in a funeral procession to bury 12 members of a single family, half of them children, killed in an Israeli airstrike on their home a day earlier.

Nearby, mourners carried the coffin of 18-year-old paramedic Ali Shahrour, killed in a separate strike on the town the same day. The procession wound through streets scarred by months of bombardment as an Israeli drone buzzed incessantly overhead

UNIFIL says ‘entire neighborhoods’ wiped out in southern Lebanon

The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said Monday night that peacekeepers continue to report “extensive destruction” of civilian infrastructure across southern Lebanon, warning that entire neighborhoods have been wiped out and some destruction appears “systematic rather than selective.”

UNIFIL spokesperson Kandice Ardiel told UN Radio that peacekeepers had documented widespread damage and destruction from Kafr Kila to Khiam and Naqoura.

Israeli forces reportedly use phosphorus shells in attacks on southern Lebanon

In 2024, images and footage shared by Human Rights Watch showed the munitions hitting residential buildings in the southern Lebanese border villages of Kafr Kila, Mays al-Jabal, Boustane, Markaba, and Aita al-Chaab.

Inhalation of white phosphorus fumes can cause respiratory injuries and asphyxiation, and inflict second- and third-degree burns to the skin.

In 2023, HRW revealed that Israeli forces had used the weapon on the densely populated Gaza Strip and on two rural areas along the Israel-Lebanon border.

“We have been working actively, I think, through diplomatic channels to do whatever possible to stop that and to allow Lebanese communities that are from those areas to be able to move back,” Sarai said in an interview with The Associated Press late Tuesday.

UN: Keep International Force in Lebanon to Protect Civilians

(August 13, 2026)

In August 2025, the Security Council unanimously decided to extend the mandate of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), which first deployed in 1978, one final time until the end of 2026, when it would begin a phased withdrawal. That decision came before the latest escalation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah in March 2026—and before Israeli forces displaced hundreds of thousands of civilians and occupied large swathes of southern Lebanon. Deliberate acts of displacement may amount to the war crime of forced displacement.

“Pulling the plug on UNIFIL without a robust international force in place would effectively abandon millions of Lebanese civilians to an uncertain and potentially disastrous fate,” said Louis Charbonneau, UN director at Human Rights Watch. “UN missions may not be a lasting solution, but the peacekeepers are a crucial deterrent against attacks on civilians and human rights abuses.”

Lebanese officials ‘have lost all leverage’ after putting ‘all their eggs in the US-Israeli basket’

The Lebanese government has been left at the “mercy” of the US and Israel after signing on to the Washington-brokered framework agreement, argues Ziad Abu Rish, an associate professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Bard College in the US state of New York.

He noted that Zawthar al-Gharbiya remains the only village Israeli forces have withdrawn from under the framework agreement and Israel has since publicly declared it is no longer interested in creating additional withdrawal zones.

Since 3:30 a.m., southern Lebanon has woken up to one of the deadliest days since the large-scale fighting ended last June.

The strike on Ansar was not the only attack.

Lebanon, Israel agree shortlist of countries that could send troops to verify Hezbollah disarmament

The list was produced during meetings between Lebanon and Israel at the US embassy in Rome this week, the latest round of talks on how to implement a previous deal on 26 June that linked Israel‘s progressive withdrawal of troops from Lebanon to the disarmament of ​Hezbollah, which would be „verified“ by a third party.

Hezbollah is not a party to the agreement and has refused to give up its arsenal.

„We have reached a short list of countries. We decided which parties were impossible for each and set the potential actors,“ the Lebanese official said.

„The Americans will now decide, and could pick more than one country.“

Lebanese who fled the Israeli invasion visit to see what‘s left

Hamadi says the Basma family, who lived just across a lane from them in a neighborhood called the Nuns‘ Quarter, was killed in an airstrike in March — the parents along with all four of their children. The impact collapsed the house on top of them and two of the children — ages around 8 and 11 — are still under the rubble, she says.

„Now when I look at the neighborhood they are the only ones I can think about,“ she says.

She says in a quiet area full of older people, the family‘s four children brought life to the neighborhood. „They were the ones who made all the noise and activity,“ she says.

Hammadi says she used to drink coffee with the mother, who was in her late 30s. She would talk about waiting for her children to grow up.

„They were wonderful people,“ she says. „Now there‘s no one left from the family.“
