An Israeli airstrike targeted the area between the towns of Kounine and Aita al-Shaab in southern Lebanon on Sunday evening, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported.

Initial reports from the National News Agency indicated that the strike hit a house on the outskirts of Aita al-Shaab near Kounine, resulting in casualties. The exact number of victims has yet to be confirmed.

The attack came hours after Lebanese MP Hassan Fadlallah, speaking at the funeral of fighters killed in resisting the attempted invasion by Israeli forces, called on the state to take a firm stance against ongoing Israeli violations. "We have placed the responsibility on the state to confront these aggressions, and a national decision at the highest levels is required," he said.

On Saturday, two people were killed in Israeli drone strikes on the towns of Yater and Meiss al-Jabal, as part of the Israeli occupation's continued violations of the ceasefire agreement.

This comes amid ongoing Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon. On Saturday, two people were killed in Israeli drone strikes on the towns of Yater and Meiss al-Jabal, as Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement continue.

A Lebanese citizen was killed in an Israeli drone strike in the eastern neighborhood of Mays al-Jabal, southern Lebanon when the drone targeted him with two missiles as he exited his car. Meanwhile, another drone strike targeting a vehicle in the town of Yater, also in southern Lebanon, resulted in one martyr and one injury.

This comes amid near-daily violations of the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon by the Israeli Occupation Forces, who have been using drones to strike civilians in southern Lebanon, while three committees were formed to resolve outstanding issues between "Israel" and Lebanon.

Lebanon committees' roles on unresolved issues

The formation of three committees by Lebanon to resolve outstanding issues with the Israeli occupation comes in continuation of the implementation of UN Resolution 1701, Al Mayadeen reported as per its sources on March 12.

With details provided to Al Mayadeen indicating that the committees remain closely tied to Resolution 1701 and do not involve direct negotiations between Lebanon and "Israel," and with sources affirming that they are not a means of normalizing ties with the occupation while dismissing all related rumors as false, the context surrounding their role becomes clearer.

Aiming to resolve three key unresolved issues, the committees focus on matters related to the occupied Palestinian-Lebanese border, disputes over border sites that have remained contentious since the 2006 war, and the five occupied positions following the recent war, with the issue of Lebanese detainees held in "Israel" also set to be examined.

'Israel' continues to violate Lebanon ceasefire

"Israel" has been escalating its violations of the ceasefire deal, shooting at civilians and Lebanese Army soldiers, and most recently, capturing one Lebanese army soldier.

The Lebanese Armed Forces announced that the Israeli Occupation Forces captured one of its soldiers on March 10 after contact was lost with him. According to LAF investigations, the soldier was shot and wounded by Israeli troops before they took him to occupied Palestinian territories.

In the same shooting incident on March 9, one Lebanese soldier was killed, and two others were injured after Israeli soldiers opened fire on a group of civilians near the Fatima Gate in Kfar Kila.

On March 8, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon reported that an Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle on the outskirts of al-Jumeijmeh and al-Sawwaneh, killing one person while the Lebanese Ministry of Health stated that a drone strike on a vehicle in Khirbet Selem resulted in one person being killed and another wounded.

On March 7, Israeli jets conducted 28 airstrikes on several areas in southern Lebanon, including Wadi Zibqin, the area between Aita al-Shaab and Beit Yahoun, the outskirts of al-Ayshieh, and a valley between Ansar and Zrariyeh, as well as Tibna.
