Beirut, March 8 (RHC)-- Israeli warplanes -- Made in the USA -- have carried out airstrikes on southern Lebanon, targeting areas between the towns of Ansar and Zrerieh, in yet another breach of Lebanon's sovereignty.
The attacks also struck locations near the Litani River, including the outskirts of Aishiya, Wadi Zebqin, and the area between Aita al-Jabal and Beit Yahoun.
The airstrikes come despite a ceasefire agreement between the Lebanese based resistance movement Hezbollah and the Israeli regime, which was reached on November 26, 2024, and took effect the following day.
After failing to achieve its goals, the Israeli regime was compelled to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah. Yet, the regime continues to violate the agreement almost on a daily basis through launching attacks on Lebanese territories.
On December 2nd, the Israeli regime breached the ceasefire 52 times within the first five days.
At least 259 violations were reported, resulting in 31 fatalities and 39 injuries by December 20th.
In early February 2025, Lebanon lodged a complaint with the UN Security Council against Israeli regime over its continued violations of a ceasefire agreement and UN Resolution 1701.
A Foreign Ministry statement said the complaint was filed through Lebanon’s permanent mission in New York in response to Israel’s violation of resolution 1701 and the declaration of cessation of hostilities, and its complete disregard of related security arrangements.
According to the ministry, the complaint explained in detail the Israeli violations in southern Lebanon, including its ground and air assaults, destruction of homes and residential neighborhoods, abduction of Lebanese citizens, including army soldiers, and attacks on civilians returning to their border villages.
The Israeli military carried out acts of aggression in south Lebanon soon after launching a genocidal war against the besieged Gaza Strip in October 2023.
The Israeli regime’s offensives in Lebanon have resembled its atrocities across the Palestinian territories, including the Gaza Strip, where it has killed more than 48,446 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
The Lebanese resistance movement, however, stood up to the aggression with all at its disposal, conducting numerous retaliatory strikes against sensitive and strategic Israeli targets.
