Six people were killed and two others wounded in Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon on Friday, Lebanon's Public Health Ministry said.

The casualties included two killed in Wadi al-Hujair, one killed in Srifa, one killed and one wounded in Yater, two killed in Touline, and one wounded in Khirbet Selm, according to a statement by the Emergency Operations Center of the ministry.

The latest Israeli strikes came amid a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon that came into effect at midnight between April 16 and 17, following weeks of intensified cross-border fighting amid the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that the current 10-day Israel-Lebanon ceasefire would be extended by three weeks.
