Israeli Airstrikes Kill 9 Lebanese Including Lebanese Army Brigadier General Wassam Sabra, Captain Elie Khoury — Lebanon President Calls It 'Flagrant Violation' — Day 99

On June 6, 2026 (Day 99), Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon killed nine people, including three members of the Lebanese Armed Forces. An airstrike on a vehicle on the road linking Nabatiyeh to Marjayoun killed Lebanese Army Brigadier General Wassam Sabra, Captain Elie Khoury, and soldier Hussein Ghozal — a direct hit on Lebanese regular military personnel. A separate airstrike on the village of Saksakiyah killed six people and wounded four others, according to Lebanon's state-run National News Agency. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the strikes as 'a flagrant violation of Lebanese sovereignty and international law,' demanding international accountability. Al Jazeera reported a total of 10–12 Lebanese killed across the day's strikes. The killings occurred despite the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire renewed on June 3, which Hezbollah has refused, but which the Lebanese government has officially accepted. Lebanon's cumulative death toll since March 2 rose to 3,593+ killed, 10,990+ wounded. Sources: NPR, Al Jazeera, Washington Times.
