Reports from Lebanon’s state news agency said that the newly declared ceasefire was allegedly violated less than an hour after it took effect. According to the report, Israeli forces continued shelling the southern Lebanese towns of Khiam and Dibbin despite the ceasefire announcement.

The report further noted that heavy military activity, including machine-gun fire, was ongoing in those areas. In addition, Israeli surveillance aircraft were observed operating actively over the western Bekaa Valley, particularly around the Rashaya region and the western parts of Jabal al-Sheikh.

The information was attributed to Al Jazeera, which cited Lebanon’s state media as the source of the claims.
