On Sunday, several people were reported dead following an Israeli airstrike in the eastern part of Lebanon, specifically around Majdal Anjar near the Syrian border. The Lebanese state news agency, National News Agency, reported the incident, while the Israeli military confirmed the strike, asserting that it was aimed at members of the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad. Although the exact number of casualties was not disclosed by the Israeli forces, local reports suggest that the attack involved an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in the border area, leading to the deaths of four individuals.

The Israeli military has consistently conducted operations within Lebanon, particularly in the southern and eastern regions, even during ongoing ceasefires with Hezbollah. This pattern of strike indicates an escalated focus on locations purportedly linked to Hezbollah and other militant groups, including Hamas. The Israeli authorities often justify these actions as necessary measures against perceived threats from militant organizations situated in these border areas.

The context of these strikes takes place amidst a fragile ceasefire agreement established last November, which requires Hezbollah to withdraw north of the Litani River, located approximately 30 kilometers from their previous positions. This situation highlights the complex and often volatile nature of the border dynamics between Israel and Lebanon, raising questions about regional stability and the ongoing conflict involving Israeli forces and various militant groups operating within Lebanon.
