Beirut, June 2 (Petra) — Israeli warplanes carried out intensive
airstrikes on towns and villages in the Nabatieh district of southern
Lebanon on Tuesday, causing widespread destruction, according to
Lebanese security sources.

A Lebanese security source said Israeli fighter jets and drones
conducted 83 strikes targeting 29 towns and villages. The source
added that Israeli forces entered the uninhabited towns of Blat and
Dibbine in the Marjayoun district on Tuesday evening after
demolishing homes and facilities in the area.

In a statement, Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health said Israeli
attacks on Lebanon between March 2 and June 2 had killed 3,468 people
and injured 10,577 others.

On the political front, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam commented
on the resumption of Lebanese-Israeli negotiations in Washington,
saying that the priority remains securing and maintaining a ceasefire
throughout Lebanon.

“I reiterate that negotiations are the least costly option for
Lebanon and the Lebanese people, and the shortest path to ending the
occupation and enabling our people in the south to return to their
towns and villages,” Salam said.
