An Israeli drone targeted a car in the southern Lebanese town of Qaaqaait al-Jisr, late on Monday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.
The attack marks another grave violation of the ceasefire agreement between the Israeli occupation and Lebanon, despite full Lebanese commitment to the clauses of the deal.
Israeli occupation forces launched a series of airstrikes and shelled several towns in the region on Saturday. These attacks resulted in the deaths and injuries of several civilians in southern Lebanon, while also targeting eastern Lebanon. Prior to these escalations, blatant Israeli violations had been ongoing, namely targeted and sporadic strikes that undermined Lebanese sovereignty. These violations included repeated incursions into Lebanese airspace and the occupation of points along the Lebanon-Palestine border.
Israeli authorities justified the intense bombing campaign on Saturday by pointing to the launching of five rockets toward the Metulla settlement, located on the border. Hezbollah denied responsibility for the rocket attack, while the Lebanese Army immediately discovered and seized three primitive wooden rocket launchers in the area north of the Litani River, near Arnoun, in the Nabatieh governorate.
A ceasefire agreement was originally put into effect on November 27, 2024, following a brutal Israeli aggression on Lebanon. Although the mediated agreement guaranteed full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon by January 27 this year, the deadline for withdrawal was extended to February 18. Despite this, Israeli occupation forces continue to occupy several areas near Lebanese border towns and directly attack civilians and Army personnel in the region.
