Israeli airstrikes have killed one person and wounded seven others in southern Lebanon, marking another breach of the November 2024 ceasefire. The attacks targeted the towns of Ebba and Harouf in the Nabatieh governorate.

Israeli military strikes have killed at least one person and injured seven others in southern Lebanon, violating the ceasefire agreement that has been in place since November 2024. According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, the fatal attack on Sunday targeted the town of Ebba in the Nabatieh governorate, resulting in one death and six injuries.

Details of the Attacks and Ongoing Occupation

The official Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) reported a separate incident in the town of Harouf, where an Israeli drone strike set a car on fire, injuring one person. These latest incidents add to a pattern of Israeli ceasefire violations that have killed and wounded hundreds of Lebanese civilians since the truce took effect. Israel also continues to occupy several Lebanese hilltops seized during the recent conflict, in addition to territories held for decades.

Background of the 2023-2024 War and Current Demands

The strikes occur against the backdrop of a devastating war that began with Israeli military operations in October 2023 and escalated into full-scale conflict in September 2024. Lebanese authorities state the war killed more than 4,000 people and wounded approximately 17,000. Lebanese officials have repeatedly called for international pressure on Israel to halt its attacks and fully adhere to the ceasefire terms. Hezbollah has affirmed its commitment to the truce while demanding an Israeli withdrawal from all occupied areas.

Regional Stability and International Concern

The persistent violence threatens to unravel the fragile ceasefire and destabilize southern Lebanon further. For regional actors like Türkiye, which advocates for de-escalation and the sovereignty of all nations, such repeated violations underscore the urgent need for robust international diplomacy to secure a lasting peace and prevent another cycle of widespread violence.
