The Israeli occupation carried out a series of airstrikes on Tuesday targeting several areas in Lebanon, including Bouday, the vicinity of Shmestar, and Wadi Umm Ali in the western Baalbek district, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent.

Initial reports from the Public Health Emergency Operations Center at Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health confirmed that twelve civilians were killed and six were injured in the attacks.

The occupation also launched airstrikes on the town of Brital in the Bekaa region, as part of its ongoing assault on Lebanese towns and villages.

Israel just carried out a series of airstrikes on several residential areas in Lebanon, violated Security Council resolution SCR 1701, ceasefire agreement, and international law with absolutely no consequences.

These latest strikes are part of a broader campaign of continuous Israeli aggression against areas in the south, the Bekaa, and Beirut’s southern suburb, while "Israel" continues to occupy five border points in southern Lebanon in an ongoing violation of the ceasefire agreement.

Since the ceasefire officially took effect on November 27, 2024, Israeli attacks on Lebanon have resulted in the martyrdom of 203 people, according to updated figures.

'Israel' attacks, US mandates disarmament

This comes amid US-Israeli pressure to disarm the Islamic Resistance, which has fully committed to the ceasefire brokered in November 2024. 

The US Special Envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack, has issued a series of pointed threats to Lebanon, declaring that the country faces existential risks, including collapse or foreign domination, if it does not fully disarm the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon (Hezbollah). His comments, made in an interview with The National on Friday, reflect escalating US pressure on Lebanon to dismantle its national resistance.

"You have Israel on one side, you have Iran on the other, and now you have Syria manifesting itself so quickly that if Lebanon doesn’t move, it’s going to be Bilad Al Sham again," Barrack said, invoking the historic name for Greater Syria, adding that "Syrians say Lebanon is our beach resort. So we need to move."

In language criticized by observers as condescending and overtly interventionist, Barrack positioned the "disarmament" of the Resistance not as a domestic Lebanese decision, but as a prerequisite for US and Gulf financial aid.
