Israeli troops have planted and detonated explosives in two homes near a Lebanese army checkpoint in the southern region of Hula.
Lebanese journalist Khalil Nasrallah reported that Israeli soldiers entered the Subeih Hill area, northeast of the town of Hula in southern Lebanon, where they planted explosives in two houses and detonated them.
According to Nasrallah, the hill lies near a Lebanese army checkpoint manned by several soldiers and one or two vehicles — the only checkpoint in the area.
He emphasized that the army personnel "are not to be blamed under any circumstances," noting that "their blood is precious."
Nasrallah criticized the authorities who ordered the army to confront Israeli incursions "without reinforcing and strengthening its presence in sensitive border areas."
In recent weeks, the Israeli military has intensified near-daily airstrikes across southern Lebanon, despite the truce agreed upon in November 2024.
Israel was forced to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah on November 27, 2024, after suffering heavy losses on the battlefield and failing to achieve its goals despite killing over 4,000 people in Lebanon.
Since then, the Israeli military has kept attacking Lebanon on an almost daily basis and has refused to withdraw its occupation troops from the Arab country.
The Israeli occupation forces remain positioned at five locations inside Lebanese territory and continue to shell parts of southern and eastern Lebanon, and Beirut's southern suburbs.
The Israeli aggression has, since the November ceasefire, killed about 300 people and wounded more than 650, including women and children, according to the Lebanese government data.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem criticized on Friday the US role in Lebanon, slamming Washington as a sponsor of aggression rather than an impartial mediator.
According to a report by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, former US President Joe Biden allowed Israel to continue bombing Lebanon, even after the ceasefire was reached between the occupying regime and Hezbollah.
The report revealed that Michael Herzog, former Israeli ambassador to the US, disclosed during a Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) conference that Israel had reached a "side understanding" with the Biden administration to continue to strike Lebanon despite Washington's role as a so-called guarantor of the ceasefire.
