On Monday, two people were killed in Israeli airstrikes targeting the southern Lebanese towns of Hanin and Talousa, a violation of the ceasefire agreement that had been established in November 2024. According to Lebanon's official news agency, the Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that the strikes occurred within a short timeframe, with the first attack hitting a minibus in Hanin and the second targeting a vehicle in Talousa. Israeli military sources stated that the strikes were aimed at a Hezbollah operative involved in reconstructing military infrastructure in the region.

This incident follows an escalation of violence in the area, which has seen heightened tensions since the declaration of a ceasefire last November. With Israel continuing to conduct airstrikes in Lebanon despite the ceasefire, concerns are growing regarding the potential for renewed conflict. This recent airstrike was part of a broader operation against Palestinian Islamic Jihad militants, which also included an attack that resulted in four fatalities in eastern Lebanon near the Syrian border.

The ongoing Israeli strikes have reportedly resulted in over 370 deaths in Lebanon since the ceasefire was reached, highlighting the devastating impact on the civilian population and raising alarm among international observers and human rights organizations. The situation remains precarious, and with the looming threat of further military actions, both regional stability and humanitarian conditions are at risk of deteriorating further as calls for accountability mount amid the violence.
