South Lebanon witnessed a new field escalation, represented by a series of air strikes and Israeli artillery shelling that affected a number of towns and border areas, despite the announcement of a ceasefire last June. The escalation included the use of military aircraft, drones, and extensive artillery bombardment.
In field details, Israeli warplanes launched raids targeting the towns of Kafr Tibnit and Taloussa, while artillery targeted the outskirts of the towns of Mifdoun, Hadatha, and Haris. The National News Agency reported that, on Monday afternoon, an Israeli drone carried out a raid on the outskirts of the town of Jarmaq, coinciding with continued attacks in other southern areas.
This was preceded by an Israeli artillery shelling that focused, on Monday afternoon, on the outskirts of the eastern towns of Zawtar and Mifdoun with heavy shells, while an Israeli drone dropped a bomb towards farmers on the outskirts of the town of Dermamas, without recording any human casualties.
These developments come in light of ongoing tension on the southern front, following the outbreak of confrontations between Israel and Hezbollah on March 2, following the firing of missiles towards northern Israel, before Israeli military operations expanded and forces imposed control over a number of Lebanese border towns.
It is noteworthy that a ceasefire agreement was announced on June 20, and led to a noticeable decline in the pace of military operations without succeeding in stopping them completely, which reflects the fragility of the security and field situation in the region.
