Sources indicate that at least five individuals have died in villages including Kekartevnit and Yogor, following intense fighter raids and gunfire in Nabatiyeh, southern lebanon, earlier today.
Israeli forces bombed the village of aldazas in Dahiye, south of Beirut, a known stronghold of Hezbollah.
Lebanese authorities issued evacuation orders around the targeted buildings, causing confusion among residents. Casualty figures for the Beirut region remain unknown.
The Israeli military stated that the raids targeted a drone storage facility belonging to Hezbollah’s 127 Air Force in beirut, as well as Hezbollah command centers and rocket launch sites in southern Lebanon.
The Israeli operation occurred shortly after the announcement that two rockets had been launched toward northern Israel from Lebanese territory. Israeli forces described this as an explicit violation of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated, The equation has changed now.
We will attack anywhere in Lebanon in response to any threat to Israel while carrying out the ceasefire strongly.Benjamin Netanyahu,Israeli Prime Minister
Hezbollah,however,maintained that it is entirely complying with the ceasefire agreement and has nothing to do with the rocket launched today.
Lebanese Prime Minister Naaf Salam condemned the Israeli action as a dangerous dispute expansion that targets a private residential area with a school,
and urged Israel to stop violating the armistice agreement and withdraw wholly in the occupied area.
Lebanese President Joseph Avanon,currently in Paris to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron,also criticized the Dahiye raids,asserting that they violated agreements between France and the United States.
In a joint press conference with President Avanon, President Macron stated that
Israel’s attack cannot be tolerated for violating the armistice agreement,and argued that the air raid lacked legitimacy as Israel did not provide details about or evidence of a Hezbollah attack in southern Lebanon.Emmanuel Macron, French President
The ceasefire agreement that Lebanon and israel agree to must be respected,
Macron said.
Israel initially expanded its military operations on October 7, 2023, following attacks.

despite the agreement, conflict has persisted, with both Israel and hezbollah failing to fully withdraw their troops from southern Lebanon. Israel has continued sporadic raids targeting Hezbollah, maintaining control over five ‘strategic bases’ in the region.
