"Israeli air strikes have targeted Blat and Wadi Barghouti in several strikes in southern Lebanon's Iqlim al-Tuffah region, in the latest violation of a ceasefire reached in November 2024 between Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, according to an Al Jazeera correspondent on the ground. The Israeli military said its forces were launching attacks on Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon. This is the usual army line, but large numbers of civilians and civilian infrastructure have been targeted in the ongoing near-daily Israeli attacks."
"Israel's military has continued to carry out attacks in Lebanon, despite a November 2024 ceasefire with Hezbollah that sought to bring an end to more than a year of fighting. More than 300 people have been killed since then, including 127 civilians, according to the United Nations. Israel killed more than 4,000 people and injured about 17,000 others during its war against Lebanon, which began in October 2023, before turning into a full-scale war in September 2024."
"Lebanon's Ministry of Health announced that a 16-year-old Syrian boy was killed, the National News Agency (NNA) reported. He was named as Hussein Mohsen al-Khalaf and was killed in a strike on Kfar Dan near Baalbek. On Thursday, Israeli strikes on Lebanon's Bekaa Valley killed one person and wounded 29 others."
Israeli military operations in Lebanon persist despite a ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024 with Hezbollah. While the military claims to target Hezbollah infrastructure, civilian areas and infrastructure have been repeatedly struck in southern Lebanon's Iqlim al-Tuffah region and the Bekaa Valley. Recent strikes killed a 16-year-old Syrian boy and wounded 29 others. Since the ceasefire, over 300 people have died, including 127 civilians according to UN figures. The broader conflict, which began in October 2023 and escalated to full-scale war in September 2024, resulted in over 4,000 deaths and approximately 17,000 injuries. Israel maintains military occupation of Lebanese territory, impeding reconstruction efforts.
