Two brothers were killed in an Israeli vehicle airstrike between the southeastern Lebanese towns of Ain Ata and Sheba’a, Lebanese state news agency reported. This is the latest serious violation of a year-old ceasefire.
In another attack on Saturday, an Israeli drone struck a car near Salah Ghandour hospital in the southern town of Bint Jubeir, injuring seven people, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said. According to Al Jazeera, two missiles struck a vehicle in a populated area.
Another Israeli drone strike, the third of the day, later hit a car in the Barashit area, Lebanon’s state news agency said.
Photos shared by the agency showed smoke rising above burning debris on the road after the attack, and the number of casualties was unknown, the agency reported.
The Israeli military claimed, without providing evidence, that the attack was aimed at Hezbollah targets.
Despite the ceasefire in November 2024, Israel continues to carry out near-daily attacks on its northern neighbor while maintaining troops in its southern periphery.
Hezbollah maintains that it remains in compliance with the cease-fire agreement, but says it will not disarm while Israel continues to occupy and attack Lebanese territory.
