Israeli forces carried out airstrikes, explosions, artillery shelling and other military activity Thursday in areas of southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese official National News Agency (NNA).
An Israeli airstrike targeted the town of Haddatha in the Bint Jbeil district, while Israeli warplanes also struck the town of Al-Mansouri, NNA reported.
Israel also carried out a large explosion in the town of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah near the Litani River, the agency reported.
An airstrike targeted the town of Qantara, where Israeli forces also carried out an explosion earlier in the day.
In Kfar Tebnit, in the Nabatieh district, Israeli warplanes launched an airstrike on the town before Israeli forces later carried out a large explosion, according to NNA.
Israeli forces also conducted an explosion in Kounine in the Bint Jbeil district.
An Israeli drone dropped two stun grenades near farmers on the outskirts of Kfar Shuba in the Arqoub area, while Israeli artillery fired several shells toward the outskirts of Rshaf.
Machine-gun fire was also directed toward the town of Srebbine near Nabatieh, said the agency.
In Mayfadoun, three Israeli drones exploded in separate incidents. Two exploded on the roofs of homes, while another exploded above the town, with debris falling into a house garden.
Israeli drone activity was also reported over other parts of southern Lebanon, with a drone flying at low altitude above the main square in Jdeidet Marjayoun.
Another Israeli drone flew silently at low altitude above the coastal city of Tyre.
The attacks come despite a US-sponsored “Framework Agreement” reached between Beirut and Tel Aviv on June 26 that calls for a gradual Israeli withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territory in exchange for the deployment of the Lebanese army and the disarmament of armed groups.
Lebanon's Health Ministry said Israeli attacks since March 2 have killed 4,390 victims and wounded 12,429 as of Nov. 5.
Israel continues to occupy areas of southern Lebanon, including positions held for decades and others seized during the 2023-2024 war, when Israeli ground forces advanced around 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) into Lebanese territory.
