On Monday, the Israeli army abducted a Lebanese shepherd, Mahmoud Moussa, near Ain Ebel and Yaroun in southern Lebanon’s Bint Jbeil district, while he was grazing his cattle, according to our regional correspondent.
Just over a week ago, the Israeli army released a shepherd, it had abducted earlier, who was also a member of the Lebanese Army. He had been abducted in the Majidiyeh plain in the Hasbaya district of southern Lebanon.
Despite the cease-fire between Hezbollah and Israel that took effect on Nov. 27, Israel continues to carry out missile strikes in southern Lebanon, primarily via drones. These attacks have killed at least 34 people, according to our records. The Israeli army, which prohibits Lebanese from entering a zone extending about 10 kilometers along the border and remains stationed in some southern villages, has also kidnapped several civilians since the truce began and demolished several houses in border villages after the truce began.
