The Israeli military conducted airstrikes in Lebanon’s Bekaa region. This marks the first attack since the ceasefire agreement in late November. Lebanese media reported that the strikes hit an area between Talia and Hizzine in the Baalbek district. There was no immediate information on casualties or damage.
Lebanese authorities say Israel has violated the ceasefire around 300 times since it began. The agreement aimed to end over 14 months of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati has called for the ceasefire monitoring committee to pressure Israel to stop breaching the deal.
The Lebanese Health Ministry states that violence, which began in October 2023, has killed over 4,000 people and injured more than 16,000. Women, children, and healthcare workers are among the casualties. The latest strikes raise fears of a renewed conflict and threaten regional stability.
