The Israeli army targets southern Lebanon with drones and gunfire

The Israeli military has attacked towns in southern Lebanon with drones and gunfire, violating a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah.

On Friday, the Israeli occupation army targeted several towns in southern Lebanon using drones and bursts of gunfire, marking another violation of the ceasefire agreement established with Hezbollah in November 2024. According to the official Lebanese news agency, areas in the town of Yaron in the Bent Jbeil district were subjected to Israeli fire, indicating a persistent deterioration of security in the region.

The report further detailed that an Israeli drone dropped a stun grenade on the town of Hula, while Israeli forces stationed on Mount Blat, one of five sites occupied by Israel within Lebanese territory, opened gunfire towards the outskirts of the towns of Mrouhin and Sheihin. In a separate incident, an Israeli drone struck the outskirts of the town of Markaba with two missiles, highlighting the ongoing escalation of military actions by Israel in southern Lebanon.

As part of these repeated violations, the Israeli army reportedly conducted a significant explosive operation around the town of Adaisseh; however, the official agency did not provide detailed information regarding this specific incident. Additionally, the Lebanese news agency noted that an Israeli drone flew at a low altitude over the city of Baalbek and neighboring villages, further indicating the tense state of affairs along the Lebanon-Israel border and the implications of these hostile actions on civilians in the region.
