BEIRUT — Israeli attacks continued overnight into Tuesday morning, with Israel's demolition of infrastructure, artillery shelling, and movements reported in several villages in south Lebanon.
On Tuesday morning, the Israeli army resumed demolitions in Zawtar Sharqieh (Nabatieh district) and Ainata (Bint Jbeil). It also demolished several houses in Doubeih, on the western outskirts of Mais al-Jabal (Marjayoun).
Israeli military vehicles were also spotted moving in the villages of Houla and Markaba, as well as from Taybeh toward Qantara (Marjayoun).
Israeli artillery shelling targeted Dohat Kfar Roummane (Nabatieh), Markaba, the outskirts of Khiam (Marjayoun), Tayr Harfa (Bint Jbeil), as well as Mansouri and the village's border with Zibqine (Sour).
Israel also conducted a large sweeping operation on the village of Haddatha, and an Israeli drone launched two stun grenades on Yater (Bint Jbeil).
On Monday night, the Israeli army carried out detonations in Haddatha and the outskirts of Haris (Bint Jbeil). Israeli vehicles were also spotted moving in Zawtar Sharqieh toward Mayfadoun (Nabatieh), coinciding with a sweeping operation targeting the area.
Israeli artillery shelling also targeted Wadi Zibqine (Sour district), Haddatha, Wadi Ayoun in the outskirts of Sarbine (Bint Jbeil), the Ali Taher ridge, Dohat Kfar Roummane (Nabatieh), and Wadi Slouqi (Marjayoun).
The Israeli army continue to demolish infrastructure on a daily basis in villages it still occupies, despite a fragile cease-fire in place since June.
These attacks have increased recently in parallel with a lack of major progress in direct talks between Beirut and Tel Aviv. The talks are part of a framework agreement to establish “pilot zones” where the Lebanese Army is expected to disarm Hezbollah in exchange for Israeli withdrawal.
Hezbollah, for its part, says it respects the cease-fire established under the Memorandum of Understanding between Iran and the U.S., despite the agreement expiring about a week ago without being extended.
