Israeli strikes kill five in Lebanon in latest ceasefire breach
"Israel claims it has struck Hezbollah targets, although the Lebanese group has not commented. At least five people have been killed and five others wounded after Israeli warplanes struck eastern Lebanon in the latest violation of the ceasefire agreement signed last November, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. The attacks on Monday hit the Bekaa and Hermel districts, with state media saying at least eight air raids were carried out."
"According to Lebanon's National News Agency, seven bombs fell on the outskirts of Hermel, while another strike targeted the nearby town of Labweh. Israel's military claimed the raids hit weapons depots and military facilities used by Hezbollah, though the claims could not be independently confirmed. Hezbollah has not yet commented. Israel has continued launching near-daily assaults on Lebanese territory, particularly in the south, while maintaining an occupation at five border outposts despite the truce requiring a full withdrawal earlier this year."
