Fragile ceasefire under threat as Lebanon reports fresh Israeli attacks

According to the NNA, Israeli warplanes launched an early morning airstrike targeting the border village of Yarun. Additionally, Israeli forces shelled several areas, including the town of Khiam and the outskirts of Aitarun, while also engaging in automatic weapons fire in other locations along the border.

The incidents mark a continued escalation despite a US- and French-brokered truce between Israel and Lebanon, which began at dawn on Wednesday following over a year of intermittent cross-border skirmishes and two months of intense conflict between the Israeli military and Hezbollah.

Tensions remain high in the region as Israeli forces continue to target civilians in southern Lebanon, casting doubt on the longevity of the current ceasefire. Observers fear that renewed hostilities could further destabilize the already volatile region. (ILKHA)
