“At least eight people have been killed in Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon”
CORROBORATED
Al Jazeera reports that at least eight people were killed in Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon, citing Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA). Other search results mention higher death tolls (13, 15, 22) for different timeframes/events, but the specific figure of 'at least eight' is explicitly reported by Al Jazeera.

“Another Israeli attack killed two people near a hospital in the village of Tibnin”
CORROBORATED
Multiple sources confirm deaths near Tibnin. NewsCord reports an Israeli strike killed a paramedic in Tibnin. Wikipedia's timeline of the Gaza war mentions an Israeli drone attack in Tibnin killing one person. Anadolu Ajansı reports two people killed in southern Lebanon airstrikes. While the exact number varies slightly across sources (1 vs 2), the event of an attack killing people in Tibnin is corroborated.

“the United States-mediated “ceasefire” that was recently extended until the beginning of July”
