Israel Continues Border Violations, Intensifies Attacks on Lebanon Amidst Ceasefire Concerns

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Israel persists in violating the ceasefire in Lebanon, with ongoing ground and aerial attacks. This comes as the Israeli regime, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, appears intent on continuing its breaches of the ceasefire and attacks against Lebanon, a strategy reportedly linked to Netanyahu’s political sustainability through continued regional conflict.

Al Jazeera, citing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reported that he acknowledged facing further challenges requiring attention to security interests and relationships with American allies. Netanyahu stated, “We are returning security to the northern regions and for this reason, we must maintain control of the security zone in Lebanon. We must not withdraw from this area.”

Previous reports indicated Netanyahu’s efforts to obstruct any agreement between Iran and the United States aimed at halting attacks in Lebanon. The area referred to as the “security zone” is the southern part of Lebanon along the occupied Palestinian borders, where the Israeli army has occupied numerous areas beyond five specific points during recent conflicts.

Maps provided by the Israeli army indicate the presence of occupation forces on the heights of Ali al-Taher and Kfar Tibnit, near Nabatieh.

The Al Mayadeen television network’s correspondent in southern Lebanon also reported the death of one Lebanese national in an Israeli drone attack on the town of Zebdine in Nabatieh.

These actions by the occupying regime occurred as residents of the southern Lebanese town of Haddatha, with the support of the Lebanese army and rescue forces, managed to reach the eastern parts of the town. Drone activity was also reported over the southern suburb of Beirut.

While some media outlets reported Israeli drone flights over the southern suburb of Beirut, the towns of Kfar Tibnit, Beit Yahoun, and the area between the towns of Haddatha and Haris in southern Lebanon were targeted by drone strikes.

The aggressive actions and ceasefire violations by the Israeli regime in southern Lebanon continue, despite assurances from the Iran-U.S. memorandum of understanding emphasizing the necessity of stopping the war on all fronts, particularly in Lebanon. In the latest ceasefire violation, the occupying army again targeted the town of Kfar Tibnit in Nabatieh Governorate with a drone strike. Local sources also reported the advance of Israeli soldiers towards the entrance of the Ali al-Taher area in southern Lebanon. The area between the towns of Haddatha and Haris was also targeted by the occupying army’s drone strikes.

Some local Lebanese media, including the Telegram channel “Bint Jbeil,” reported the flight of Israeli reconnaissance drones over the southern suburb of Beirut.
