On the 9th (local time), major broadcasters such as CNN reported this information, citing data from the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

According to Lebanon's state-run news agency NNA, as reported by CNN, among the four children killed was a 12-year-old girl. The girl and her father both died when they were attacked while riding a motorcycle together in Nabatieh Governorate in southern Lebanon.

In a press release issued that day, the Israeli military stated that 10 Hezbollah fighters were killed in southern Lebanon over the weekend, and that 40 Hezbollah facilities were also targeted in the attacks.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah announced that it had fired missiles at a military base south of Nahariya, Israel, on the afternoon of the 8th. On the 9th, the group claimed to have carried out 22 attacks targeting Israeli forces stationed in southern Lebanon.

Israel and Lebanon entered into a ceasefire on April 18 through U.S. mediation, and the ceasefire remains in effect through extensions.

However, Israel continues to maintain ground troops in southern Lebanon. Clashes between the Israeli military and Hezbollah in Lebanon are ongoing, mainly around the border region.
