Beirut
Israeli
forces carried out new military operations in southern Lebanon on Tuesday,
Lebanese media reported, as warplanes flew at low altitude over Baalbek and
drones hovered over Beirut’s southern suburbs.
In the Bint
Jbeil district, Israeli drones dropped four stun grenades on Haddatha, while
artillery shelling targeted Beit Yahoun alongside a detonation in Kounine. In southern
Lebanon’s western sector, Israeli military patrols opened heavy fire toward
roadsides and nearby wooded areas.
Despite a
US-mediated security framework announced on June 26, which provides for a
phased Israeli withdrawal in exchange for broader Lebanese Army deployment and
the disarmament of armed groups, Israeli military operations have continued
daily across the south.
On Monday, a
drone strike on a vehicle in Nabatieh Al-Fawqa killed four people —a school
principal, her mother, a foreign domestic worker, and a Syrian worker— raising
the death toll since the war began on March 2 to 4,319 killed and 12,203
wounded, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. The Israeli military alleged
that the four were “suspects” approaching what it described as a security zone
in southern Lebanon, claiming they “posed a threat” to its forces.
