Israel kills one, injures two in southern Lebanon: Media
An Israeli airstrike has killed one person and injured two others in Lebanon’s southern towns of Ayta ash-Shab and Wazzani.
Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported on Wednesday that an Israeli drone targeted a vehicle in Aita al-Shaab and killed one.
This is the first fatality in the region since the regime withdrew most of its forces from southern Lebanon on Tuesday.
According to the agency, two persons were also wounded in the Wazzani region, where Israeli forces opened fire “while residents were inspecting” restaurants and cafes in the vicinity.
NNA also reported that Lebanon’s Civil Defense recovered 23 bodies from several border towns on Tuesday.
“Specialized teams today... managed to remove 14 bodies from Mais al-Jabal, three from Markaba and three from Kfar Kila, in addition to three from Odaisseh,” the agency said.
A ceasefire agreement on November 27, 2024, between the Israeli regime and Hezbollah halted more than a year of hostilities, but the regime has repeatedly broken the terms of the agreement.
The Israeli regime was initially supposed to withdraw from southern Lebanon by January 26, but requested an extension until February 18.
However, in violation of the terms of the agreement, it announced just before the deadline that it would “temporarily” keep troops in “five strategic points” near the border.
NNA confirmed that the regime’s forces still occupy the five points along the border.
In another violation of the terms of the agreement, the regime’s forces have been constantly attacking Lebanese civilians and infrastructure under the guise of “targeting Hezbollah.”
Lebanese leaders said on Tuesday that they had contacted the ceasefire mediators, France and the United States, in regards to the “occupation” of the five points.
The UN has called the incomplete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the region a violation of the ceasefire agreement and the Security Council Resolution 1701.
