Just hours after announcing the extension of a ceasefire agreement, Israel launched attacks on Lebanese territory.
Airstrikes and artillery fire were reported in multiple areas, including southern Lebanon and the outskirts of Beirut. Israeli officials confirmed the military campaign was a response to alleged violations of the agreement by Hezbollah, though the militant group denied the claims.
The ceasefire deal, reached by both sides in November 2024 with backing from the United States and France, aimed to end prolonged hostilities. The extended agreement was announced just hours before the attacks erupted, highlighting ongoing instability and the risk of escalating conflict.
So far, there have been no specific reports of casualties from the latest attacks. The international community is urging both sides to exercise restraint and adhere to the ceasefire agreement.
