Israel-Iran tensions
Israeli fighter jets launched airstrikes on the Blat and Wadi Barghouti areas in southern Lebanon’s Iqlim al-Tuffah region, local media reported. The Israeli military said the operation targeted Hezbollah-linked infrastructure in the south.
As of now, no casualties have been reported. Most of the strikes were said to have hit open, wooded and hilly terrain. Israeli aircraft were also seen continuing aerial activity over southern Lebanon.
Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen television reported that Israeli warplanes carried out several raids on the al-Tuffah highlands. Separately, Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Manar TV said Israeli quadcopter drones dropped explosive devices for the third time in the town of Markaba.
Israel and Hezbollah ceasefire agreement
The latest strikes come despite a ceasefire agreed between Israel and Hezbollah in November 2024 that was intended to end more than a year of cross-border fighting. According to the United Nations, over 300 people, including 127 civilians, have been killed in Lebanon since the truce took effect.
