Israeli airstrikes on the southern Lebanese town of Kfar Rouman overnight September 6-7 killed at least 11 people, including two infants and two paramedics, according to multiple sources [1, 2, 3, 4]. Nine people died when a three-storey residential building was destroyed after midnight, and five others were wounded [1, 2, 4]. Two paramedics died in a separate drone strike on a civilian vehicle in the same town [1, 2, 4].

The strikes also targeted other southern Lebanese towns, including Arab Salim, Nabatieh, Nabatieh al-Fawqa, and Deir al-Zahrani, causing multiple casualties and injuries [5, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9]. On September 6, two women were killed and six wounded in Arab Salim [7, 8]. On September 5, an 18-year-old woman was killed and nine others injured in Maifadoun, where an eyewitness said the strike hit “a populated area” and showed Israel does not distinguish between civilians and military targets [10].

Israeli strikes destroyed Ghandour Hospital in Nabatieh al-Fawqa on September 6, rendering it out of service [9]. Since March 2, 2026, the Lebanese Health Ministry reports over 4,300 people have been killed and more than 12,000 injured in Israeli strikes across Lebanon, with 17 hospitals damaged including three in the south [2, 10, 7, 8, 9].

The Israeli military said the strikes responded to Hezbollah drone attacks on Israeli forces in southern Lebanon [1, 2, 5, 3, 7, 8, 9]. Israeli forces issued some evacuation warnings before strikes but gave no warning before the attacks on Kfar Rouman [2, 4].

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called the attacks a "dangerous escalation" that jeopardized the US-brokered ceasefire agreed in June 2026 designed to reduce hostilities and facilitate Israeli withdrawal [1]. Al Jazeera correspondent Zeina Khodr reported that "uncertainty and fear are the prevailing feelings in southern Lebanon," with civilians killed and homes destroyed as recovery efforts continue through the night [3].

The most recent strikes come despite the ceasefire agreement reached in June under US mediation to de-escalate the conflict [1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9].
