Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned, in the strongest terms, the provocative "patrol" conducted by the spokesperson for the Israeli occupation forces within the occupied Lebanese territories near the southern town of Khiam.
On Thursday, Salam considered that "this aggressive behavior, once again, confirms Israel's determination to undermine stability in the south, at a time when Lebanon has been committed to implementing international resolutions and extending state authority over all its territory through its armed forces."
Salam also reiterated his call for the international community to "exert maximum pressure on Israel to fully withdraw from the Lebanese territories it still occupies and to cease its land, maritime, and aerial violations. The Lebanese PM noted in a post on the X platform that this demand aligns with the commitments Lebanon made in last November's ceasefire agreement.
Earlier today, the spokesperson for the IOF, Avichay Adraee, stated in a post on the X platform that he had "conducted a field patrol in southern Lebanon, specifically in the area opposite the village of Khiam.
The Israeli occupation continues its assaults on various areas of Lebanon, in a breach of the ceasefire agreement that has been in place since November 27, 2024, while the Lebanese state is calling for an exclusive discussion on the issue of weapons in accordance with a US proposal.
Israeli aggression on Lebanon non-stop
On September 11, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that one person was martyred in an Israeli occupation airstrike on southern Lebanon, with initial reports indicating that an Israeli drone had deliberately targeted a motorcycle traveling on the road between Aytit and Ain Baal, setting the vehicle ablaze and killing its driver instantly.
Additionally, an Israeli strike on a vehicle in the southern Lebanese town of Kfardounin injured five people, according to an announcement from the Lebanese Health Ministry.
Among the injuries are two Lebanese Army soldiers who sustained minor injuries when their vehicle was passing through the area at the moment it was targeted by an Israeli drone in Kfardounin.
In other violations in South Lebanon, Israeli forces opened fire from their radar site on the Lebanese-Palestinian border toward the outskirts of Shebaa. Moreover, an Israeli FPV drone dropped a grenade on a bulldozer in Aitaroun, damaging it.
Earlier in the day, an Israeli airstrike targeted the outskirts of Nabi Sheet, while another Israeli airstrike struck the highlands surrounding the town of Yahfoufa in the Eastern Mountain Range.
On September 8, the Emergency Health Operations Center of Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health announced that Israeli occupation airstrikes on the Bekaa and Hermel highlands, eastern and northeastern Lebanon, killed five people and injured five others.
These latest violations follow a series of Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon, including a September 3rd incident where warplanes struck the Zahrani coastal area, killing four people and injuring 17 others, among them four children, when the strikes hit an industrial hangar used for repairing bulldozers on the Deir Taqla farm, located between the towns of Ansariyeh and Adloun.
