BEIRUT — Southern Lebanon continues to experience a fragile calm, interrupted by operations by the Israeli occupation army less than a week after the June 26 signing of a framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel providing for an initial partial Israeli withdrawal from two "pilot zones" in the South, which are to be handed over to the Lebanese Army.
Israeli occupation forces set houses on fire Tuesday in the locality of Beit Yahoun (Bint Jbeil), according to our correspondent in the South. They fired medium machine guns in Majdel Zoun (Tyre), where they also dropped a stun grenade.
An Israeli occupation army helicopter also dropped a stun grenade on the outskirts of Aita al-Jabal, near Haddatha (Bint Jbeil), targeting tanker truck drivers drawing water from a spring. A cluster bomb, a remnant of the war, exploded near a house in the locality of Touline (Marjayoun) without causing any casualties. Our correspondent also reported several Israeli tanks moving in the area known as Shmeis, at the entrance to the village of Kfar Shuba (Hasbaya).
In the morning, an Israeli drone dropped a stun grenade in the village of Braasheet (Bint Jbeil) shortly before 9 a.m., after carrying out a strike on the village of Deir Siryan, while the Israeli occupation army detonated buildings in Haddatha. On Monday evening, around 9 p.m., the Israeli occupation army blew up buildings in Markaba (Marjayoun), then carried out a strike on the village of Qantara (Marjayoun) about an hour later.
