At least 22 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon over the past 24 hours, according to the country's Health Ministry, despite a 45-day ceasefire extension.

The total death toll since March 2, when fighting resumed between Israel and Hezbollah, has reached 3,042, the ministry said in a statement published on Tuesday, up from 3,020 reported a day earlier.

According to the state-run National News Agency (NNA), at least six people have been killed since dawn. In southern Lebanon's Nabatieh area, an Israeli warplane leveled a home in the al-Mahfara neighborhood of Kfar Sir, north of the Litani River, killing four and injuring two.

In a separate incident in Harouf, a drone attack targeted a vehicle near the municipality building, killing one person and injuring a municipal council member. At least two people were injured, one critically, including a man preparing to distribute bread to residents.

An Israeli drone also struck a motorcycle in Froun near Bint Jbeil, killing one person. In the Tyre district, the army used three incendiary phosphorus bombs against farmers harvesting watermelons, though no injuries were reported. Israeli forces set up a checkpoint at the Mari-Halta junction, detaining three Lebanese nationals and confiscating their phones.

Reporting from Tyre, Al Jazeera correspondent Zeina Khodr said: "You can see the scale of the destruction here. Many are displaced... because of relentless, daily Israeli air attacks." She added that residents believe this is part of a strategy to depopulate southern Lebanon.

Later on Tuesday, the Israeli military issued a forced displacement threat to residents of 12 towns and villages across southern Lebanon, including Toura, Nabatieh At-Tahta, Habbouch, Bazouriyeh, Tayr Debba, Kfar Houneh, Ain Qana, Libbaya, Jebchit, Chehabiyeh, Burj Shemali, and Houmin al-Fawqa.
