Four Syrians wounded as Israel bombs southern Lebanon in new truce breach

In yet another breach of the fragile 2024 ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, the Israeli military has launched an airstrike in the southern part of the Arab nation, injuring a number of individuals.

At least four Syrian workers sustained injuries on Monday after an Israeli drone dropped a bomb in Wadi al-Asafir region, near stone factories in the town of Khiyam, Lebanon's Health Ministry said in a statement.

Two people were injured on Thursday night after Israeli warplanes and drones carried out a series of airstrikes against the positions of the Hezbollah resistance movement in southern Lebanon.

According to Lebanon's official National News Agency, an Israeli drone fired two missiles at a motorcycle in the village of Aitaroun in the central sector of southern Lebanon.

Lebanon's Health Ministry said two people were injured in the attack. An unnamed security source said their target was a municipal police officer of the village.

Meanwhile, Israel's military said on Thursday that it struck southern Lebanon, targeting what it asserted as Hezbollah underground tunnels.

It vowed to "continue to operate in order to remove any threat" posed to the regime.

Following significant losses sustained over nearly 14 months of war and the failure to meet its objectives in the offensive against Lebanon, Israel was compelled to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah, which took effect on November 27.

Since then, Israeli forces have been launching attacks on Lebanon, including airstrikes, in breach of the ceasefire.

On January 27, Lebanon announced its decision to extend the ceasefire with Israel until February 18.

However, Israel continues to maintain its occupation of five significant regions in southern Lebanon, namely Labbouneh, Mount Blat, Owayda Hill, Aaziyyeh, and Hammamis Hill, all situated near the border.

Lebanon has condemned the continued presence of Israeli military forces as a violation of the ceasefire agreement and the established timeline for withdrawal. Senior officials in Beirut have expressed their commitment to take "all necessary measures" to remove the occupying troops from the nation.
