The Israeli Occupation forces attacked a house in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, in yet another blatant violation of Lebanon's sovereignty and the ceasefire agreement.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported Wednesday evening that an Israeli helicopter attacked a house in Yater, southern Lebanon, with two missiles after residents of three homes in the town received threatening calls from "Israel" warning of imminent bombardment.
Meanwhile, an Israeli drone struck prefabricated rooms in the southern town of Ramia in the western sector, according to our correspondent.
Throughout Wednesday afternoon, Israeli occupation warplanes and reconnaissance aircraft conducted persistent flights over various southern regions.
"Israel" has been regularly attacking southern Lebanon, most recently injuring a civilian after Israeli Occupation Forces troops opened fire on a gathering of civilians in Mays al Jabal near the border.
'Israel' strikes South Lebanon, kills two right after Ortagus visit
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that two Lebanese citizens were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a bulldozer in the southern Lebanese town of Zebqin on Sunday afternoon, with the initial civilian death toll of one later rising to two after a critically wounded individual succumbed to his wounds.
The latest Israeli attacks follow the visit of US Deputy Envoy to the Middle East, Morgan Ortagus, to Lebanon on April 5, during which she held discussions with the three top Lebanese leaders on several issues, including the situation in southern Lebanon and the borders with occupied Palestine and Syria.
A couple of days ago, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam emphasized the importance of applying "maximum pressure on Israel to stop its ongoing attacks on various areas, especially residential ones," calling for a complete halt to the Israeli attacks.
In response to an aggression that targeted the southern Lebanese city of Saida and killed three people, Salam stressed that any Israeli assault on Lebanon "is a direct assault on Lebanese sovereignty and a blatant violation of Resolution 1701 and the security arrangements established to end hostilities."
The Israeli occupation forces have continued their violations of the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon since November 27, 2024, with more than 2,000 violations recorded, including attacks on areas in the South, the Bekaa Valley, and the Southern Suburb of Beirut.
