Israeli army renews airstrikes in Southern Lebanon despite US deal
Israeli warplanes struck towns in the Nabatieh and Tyre districts, while artillery shelling targeted other areas overnight.
On Sunday, the Israeli army resumed airstrikes and artillery shelling in southern Lebanon, violating a US-backed framework deal signed in June, according to Anadolu Ajansi, citing a state news agency. Israeli warplanes targeted Kfar Tebnit in the Nabatieh district, while Mansouri in the Tyre district and Majdal Zoun were struck by Israeli artillery, reported Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA).
The offensive follows Israel's ongoing military campaign since March 2, which has resulted in 4,386 deaths and 12,413 injuries in Lebanon, as per the latest figures from the Health Ministry. On June 26, Beirut and Tel Aviv reached an accord brokered by the United States, outlining a phased Israeli pullback from Lebanese territory and the deployment of Lebanese forces in areas vacated by the Israelis.
Despite the deal, the Israeli military persists with its attacks and maintains its presence in parts of Lebanon, including areas historically under its control and others seized during recent conflicts.
