The night from Sunday to Monday was marked in southern Lebanon by artillery fire and illumination flares from the Israeli army, after a relatively calm day in the region.
According to our correspondent, Israeli artillery fired several illuminating bombs over Yaroun, in the Bint Jbeil district, as well as 12 shells toward the south of this border village.
Machine-gun fire was also reported in the same area. Later at night, two more flare bombs were fired over the outskirts of Rmeish and Yaroun.
Despite the cease-fire that took effect on Nov. 27, 2024, between Hezbollah and Israel, the Israeli army continues to carry out strikes in southern Lebanon, the Bekaa and Beirut’s southern suburb.
These attacks come as Lebanon on Wednesday appointed a civilian, Ambassador Simon Karam, to the cease-fire monitoring "mechanism," thus responding to a demand from Washington and Tel Aviv.
The Israeli state says it is targeting Hezbollah fighters and preventing the group's alleged attempts to rebuild, while the Lebanese Army has committed to disarming it south of the Litani River.
