This comes as Israeli assaults on Lebanese villages persist. Earlier, an Israeli warplane bombarded a farm in the plains of the town of Iaat, west of the city of Baalbek in the Bekaa region, northeast Lebanon, resulting in the martyrdom of four people, according to Al Mayadeen's sources.

Israeli airstrikes also targeted the area between the towns of Beit Yahoun and Baraachit, as well as the outskirts of the towns of Houla, Kfar Chouba, and Kfar Kila.

Additionally, Israeli artillery shelling targeted Wadi al-Saluki, while Israeli warplanes targeted the surroundings of the al-Hermel district, in northeastern Lebanon, our correspondent reported.
