Israeli occupation forces carried out new attacks in southern Lebanon on Sunday, targeting civilian areas along the border in clear violation of the year-old ceasefire and UN Security Council Resolution 1701.

According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in the South, Israeli aircraft dropped four stun grenades toward a group of fishermen in Ras al-Naqoura early in the morning.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent also confirmed that Israeli forces opened fire from the newly established Jabal al-Bat position toward the outskirts of the town of Aytaroun.

Meanwhile, in the town of Shebaa, the occupation targeted a construction excavator working to clear rubble from a destroyed home. A nearby four-wheel-drive vehicle sustained damage in the attack.

Persistent Israeli violations across Lebanon

These incidents come amid continued Israeli aggression throughout Lebanon’s southern border region, as well as in the Bekaa and the Southern Suburb of Beirut. The renewed escalation highlights what Lebanese officials describe as systematic and ongoing breaches of the ceasefire agreement, which marked its first anniversary this week.

Residents and local authorities warn that the attacks not only threaten the fragile truce but also directly endanger civilian life and obstruct reconstruction efforts in areas impacted by previous bombings.

Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon have continued unabated over the past year, Hezbollah’s Media Relations said on Thursday, marking one year since the ceasefire agreement was reached in November 2024.

Hundreds of violations

According to the statement, the ceasefire, which came into effect at 4 am on November 27, 2024, followed more than two months of Israeli military aggression targeting South Lebanon, the eastern regions, and the capital, Beirut. Other Lebanese areas also came under attack periodically.

Hezbollah described the offensive as “aggressive” and accused "Israel" of committing a series of “horrific massacres” against civilians, the deadliest of which was the detonation of pagers and wireless devices that killed children and women, a practice Amnesty International has called a potential “war crime".

The group said the aggression left hundreds killed and wounded and caused extensive damage to homes and infrastructure, with reconstruction costs estimated by the World Bank at $11 billion.

In the statement, Hezbollah highlighted that the ceasefire, sponsored by the United States and France, had established a supervisory committee known as the Mechanism Committee, chaired by a US general and including representatives from France, UNIFIL, Lebanon, and "Israel".

'Israel' expanded its occupation of Lebanese territory

The statement noted that "Israel" has expanded its occupation of Lebanese territories, in violation of the ceasefire agreement, which requires Israeli forces to withdraw from areas they had entered during the war to allow the Lebanese Army deployment.

Hezbollah's Media Relations said "Israel" exceeded the 60-day withdrawal period set by the agreement, citing US approval for an additional extension. Israeli officials, including Security Minister Yisrael Katz, affirmed that Israeli forces would remain in five “strategic points” in southern Lebanon indefinitely.

The five occupied points:

• Tallat al-Hamam
• Tallat al-‘Uwaydah
• Jabal Blat
• Tallat al-Labbouneh
• Tallat al-‘Azziyeh

Hezbollah's Media Relations cited the UNIFIL's documentation of the construction of a concrete wall west of the town of Yaroun, extending beyond the Blue Line and rendering over 4,000 square meters of Lebanese land inaccessible.
