Follow spoken words in real time.
Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon killed at least 13 people on Sunday, according to Lebanese health officials. The strikes hit several places and were among the deadliest since a ceasefire was agreed. The Israeli military said it was answering recent actions that broke the ceasefire and that it targeted armed groups and important sites.
Lebanese officials and Hezbollah said Israel has broken the agreement many times. They also reported that Israeli aircraft often enter Lebanese airspace. Both sides have complained to the international committee responsible for overseeing the ceasefire.
The violence has made it hard for many people to return home. The new attacks have increased fear and uncertainty in the area. International observers warn that if the truce fails, fighting could start again and cause more problems for people living there.
