Israeli air strikes hit Southern, Eastern Lebanon despite ceasefire
Israel carried out several air strikes on southern and eastern Lebanon on Thursday, according to reports by Lebanese state media, as the Israeli military said it hit Hezbollah infrastructure, including a military compound.
The strikes come despite a ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024, which was meant to end more than a year of fighting between Israel and the Lebanese militant group, Hezbollah.
Since the agreement, Israel has continued to launch attacks inside Lebanon and has also kept its troops in five areas in the south, which it describes as strategic locations.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that the latest strikes hit mountainous areas in both the southern and eastern regions of the country. There was no immediate information on casualties or damage at the time of this report.
The Israeli military said it targeted “terror infrastructure sites in multiple areas across Lebanon” including “a military compound used by Hezbollah to conduct training and courses” for the Iran-backed group’s members.
In another statement, the military also said: “A short while ago, the IDF struck a Hezbollah terrorist in the area of Taybeh in southern Lebanon.”
The attacks come as the ceasefire monitoring committee, which includes the United States and France, are set to meet on Friday.
On Tuesday, two people were killed in Israeli strikes, one of them 30 kilometres (20 miles) south of Beirut.
Around 340 people have been killed by Israeli attacks on Lebanon since the ceasefire agreement went into force, according to an AFP tally of health ministry reports.
