Beirut: Lebanese officials reported Israeli drone strikes hitting several southern locations on Thursday, hours after an announcement of a conditional ceasefire between the two countries. According to state-run National News Agency (NNA), at least one attack caused casualties.
Lebanon's Southern Provinces Targeted
The reported attacks took place along roads in southern Lebanon, as tensions continue despite the agreed conditional truce following talks in Washington. The strikes reportedly targeted infrastructure and affected civilian areas.
The conditional ceasefire, which has brought a temporary halt to hostilities, was reached through negotiations aimed at reducing violence between Israeli forces and Lebanese Hezbollah forces. While both sides initially welcomed the agreement, these violent incidents could jeopardize its implementation or even lead to renewed conflict.
These drone strikes follow a series of recent tensions that have put both Israel and Lebanon on high alert. The situation remains volatile as negotiations continue, with concerns rising over the potential for further escalation in the region.
