The United Nations has reported that Israeli military operations remain extensive in southern Lebanon, even though the intensity of clashes has slightly decreased. Citing observations from the UN peacekeeping mission UNIFIL, Secretary-General spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said in New York that Israeli forces continue widespread activities, including the movement of armored vehicles, large-scale engineering and demolition work, and sustained logistical transport across the area.

According to UN data, between midnight and 4 p.m. local time on Wednesday, UNIFIL recorded 26 airspace violations and one airstrike in Lebanon. The peacekeeping mission also reported that two Israeli naval vessels breached Lebanon’s maritime boundary about 600 meters off the coast of Naqoura. Despite recent efforts to ease border tensions, the UN’s latest observations have raised renewed concern about the situation.

UNIFIL stated that it continues to closely monitor developments in southern Lebanon as Israeli military presence and activity remain visibly significant on the ground.
