The Israeli Air Force carried out an airstrike on the town of Milakh in southern Lebanon's Jezzine district on May 28, 2026 [1].
These strikes occur amid heightened tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, signaling a volatile escalation in the region that threatens to widen the conflict across the Lebanese border.
Footage of the strike in Milakh showed a visible plume of smoke rising from the town [1]. The attack was part of a broader series of military operations. According to one report, there was a wave of 44 Israeli attacks on Lebanon [4].
Casualty reports vary across news agencies. Anadolu Agency said nine people died and six were injured, noting that a school was also damaged during raids on eastern and southern Lebanese towns [2]. SANA said seven people died in raids on southern Lebanese towns, including one Syrian citizen [1].
Other reports focused on different sectors of the country. France24 said four people died in an Israeli strike on a town in eastern Lebanon [3]. Meanwhile, Shorouk News said three people died following the wave of attacks [4].
Israeli military activity also targeted other areas. A report from MSN Arabic said that the Israeli air force carried out a raid on the town of Al-Mansouri, located south of Tyre [5].
These coordinated strikes target multiple districts simultaneously, ranging from the southern coast to the eastern border, as the Israeli military continues its campaign against targets linked to Hezbollah.

The disparity in casualty figures between reporting agencies highlights the difficulty of verifying data in active conflict zones. The targeting of infrastructure, such as the reported school damage, and the geographic spread of the strikes from the south to the east suggest a strategic effort by the Israeli military to degrade Hezbollah's operational capacity across a wide front.
