Recent Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon have escalated tensions in the region, despite a ceasefire agreement from November 2024. According to Dawn, the strikes targeted civilian areas in Ain Qana and Kfar Tibnit, resulting in one death and eight injuries. The Israeli military justified these actions by claiming they were targeting 'weapons storage facilities' and accused Hezbollah of using 'civilian infrastructure' for military purposes. The strikes have been a continuation of hostilities that have persisted despite the truce, with Israel maintaining a military presence in five strategic areas in Lebanon. Al Jazeera reported similar destruction in these villages, emphasizing the contradiction of such attacks occurring during a supposed ceasefire.
