These attacks come as part of "Israel’s" ongoing large-scale aggression against Lebanon, which resumed on March 2, and as a continuation of its longstanding hostile approach toward the country. This has been marked by repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement implemented on November 26, 2024, as well as breaches of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, adopted in August 2006.
