Israel carried out multiple airstrikes on Thursday in southern and eastern Lebanon, violating the ceasefire agreement that has been in effect since November 2024. According to Lebanon’s state news agency NNA, one of the attacks targeted the Al-Wazaniyah area near Khallat Khazem in Jabal al-Reihan, while another strike hit mountainous areas near the city of Hermel in the Bekaa Valley. Video footage from local media showed smoke rising from the targeted zones, and Israeli warplanes were reportedly seen flying at low altitude over several Lebanese regions after the strikes.

The Israeli military stated that the operations targeted Hezbollah positions across Lebanon. However, no immediate information was available regarding casualties or damage. The report cited Anadolu Agency, which sourced its information from Lebanese media outlets.

The background of the conflict traces back to October 2023, when Israel launched a military campaign against Lebanon that escalated into a full-scale conflict by September 2024. Various sources have reported that more than 4,000 people have been killed and around 17,000 injured since the fighting began.
