🚨 A recent Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon killed one person on Saturday, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry, escalating tensions despite a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. The attack targeted a car in Kunin, marking the latest violence in a region still reeling from months of conflict.
The Strike and Its Aftermath
Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported that Friday’s strikes also killed a woman and injured 25 others in Nabatiyeh. Israel denied targeting civilians, with military spokesperson Avichay Adraee claiming a rocket inside a "fire and defense array" site exploded after their strike. 🔥💥
Ceasefire Under Strain
Despite a November ceasefire agreement requiring Israeli troop withdrawals and Hezbollah’s retreat north of the Litani River, clashes persist. Israel maintains troops in five strategic locations in southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah’s presence remains a flashpoint. The UN peacekeeping force continues to monitor the uneasy truce.
🌍 Analysts warn the situation mirrors a tinderbox, with both sides accusing each other of violations. As global leaders urge restraint, residents brace for uncertainty. Stay tuned for updates.
