Israeli army launches fresh airstrikes in southern Lebanon
The attacks occurred despite a US-brokered agreement signed by Lebanon and Israel in June and renewed efforts to resolve their security disputes.
Israeli forces launched fresh airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Saturday, targeting multiple locations including Nabatieh, Bint Jbeil, and Marjayoun districts, according to Lebanon's state-run National News Agency. The attacks followed a US-brokered framework agreement signed in June and ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve security disputes.
Israeli warplanes struck areas between Nabatieh al-Fawqa and Kfar Tebnit, and the outskirts of Baraachit in Bint Jbeil. In Marjayoun, an explosion occurred in Tallousa, while an Israeli drone hovered low over nearby towns. Additionally, Israeli forces opened machine-gun fire from Khiam toward agricultural land in Ibl al-Saqi. Israeli drones also flew low over Tyre city and surrounding areas, reaching both sides of the Litani River in Qasmiyeh.
These strikes came despite the June agreement, which called for Israel's gradual withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territories in exchange for Lebanese army deployment and armed group disarmament. Since the attacks began on March 2, at least 4,386 people have been killed, 12,407 wounded, and over a million displaced, according to the Lebanese health ministry.
