At least 28 people were killed in Israeli attacks across southern Lebanon on Thursday, according to Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA), despite a temporary ceasefire brokered by the United States.

In the municipality of Jebchit, four people were killed and nine others were wounded in an attack that destroyed a residential building. A separate attack killed four members of one family, including a child. In the municipality of Toul, four people were killed and six were wounded, and a later attack on a home in Toul on Thursday killed one more person and injured two others.

In Harouf, two people were killed and a house was destroyed, while two people were killed in an Israeli air raid in the town of Qana. A Lebanese soldier and several members of his family were killed when an air raid struck their home in Kfar Rumman, in the Nabatieh district. The Lebanese Army confirmed the deaths, describing the attack as a direct strike on a residential property.

In the town of Zebdine, an Israeli drone attack killed six people near the town's cemetery. One person was killed in air strikes in Qlawiyah, in the Bint Jbeil district, and two people were injured during an Israeli raid in the town of Dibbine.

Israel's military said one of its soldiers from the Golani Brigade was killed in southern Lebanon. The Times of Israel, citing the Israeli military, said the soldier was killed when Hezbollah launched explosive-laden rockets at Israeli troop positions in the village of Qantara, and that another soldier was moderately wounded.

Israeli forces also intensified artillery shelling in southern Lebanon, with shelling reported in the towns of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah, Yohmor al-Shaqif and Bayt al-Sayyad. Al Jazeera reported that more than 20 people had been killed in Israeli air attacks in the previous 24 hours, including members of two families, two Lebanese army soldiers and three paramedics, and that more than 70 others, including children, had been injured.

The Israeli army also issued fresh forced displacement warnings for 15 southern Lebanese towns and villages, including Jebchit, Toul, al-Samanieh, Sahel al-Hnieh, Qlailah, Wadi Jilo, al-Kanisa, Kafr Jouz, Majdal Zoun and Seddiqine.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun denounced what he called the continuing Israeli violations in southern Lebanon on Thursday, saying they were occurring despite the ceasefire, as were demolitions of homes and places of worship, while the number of people killed and wounded rose day after day. He said pressure must be exerted on Israel to respect international law and stop targeting civilians, paramedics, civil defence workers and humanitarian health and relief organisations.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri called for the swift formation of an international fact-finding committee on what he described as the crimes of the Israeli occupation. Reporting from Beirut, Al Jazeera's Malcolm Webb said President Aoun had asked the United States for a date for negotiations to restart, while insisting that Israel must fully implement the ceasefire. He said the Lebanese government, Israel and the United States had sought to keep the Lebanon talks separate from the US talks with Iran, but that with fighting continuing to escalate, only further pressure from US President Donald Trump on Israel to stop seemed likely to slow it down.

The attacks come under a temporary US-mediated ceasefire deal agreed between Israel and Lebanon that took effect on 17 April. According to Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health, Israeli attacks since 2 March have killed at least 2,586 people in Lebanon and wounded 8,020 others.
