In the latest blatant violations of a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, the Israeli military has carried out two separate attacks in the southern part of the Arab nation, killing at least three people.
The Public Health Emergency Operations Center at the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health announced in a statement that an Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle on the al-Tuwairi road in the Tyre district on Saturday.
One person was killed in the attack. No information about the identity of the victim was immediately available.
Later in the day, an Israeli airstrike on the town of Debaal in southern Lebanon claimed the lives of two people.
Following significant losses sustained over nearly 14 months of conflict and the failure to meet its objectives in the offensive against Lebanon, Israel was compelled to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah, which took effect on November 27.
Since then, Israeli forces have been launching attacks on Lebanon, including airstrikes, in breach of the ceasefire.
On January 27, Lebanon announced its decision to extend the ceasefire with Israel until February 18.
However, Israel continues to maintain its occupation of five significant regions in southern Lebanon, namely Labbouneh, Mount Blat, Owayda Hill, Aaziyyeh, and Hammamis Hill, all situated near the border.
Lebanon has condemned the continued presence of Israeli military forces as a violation of the ceasefire agreement and the established timeline for withdrawal. Senior officials in Beirut have expressed their commitment to take "all necessary measures" to remove the occupying troops from the nation
