According to a report by Anadolu Agency, the Israeli military has been accused of violating a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah 285 times since the truce came into effect on November 27. These violations include artillery shelling, military incursions, drone activity, and the establishment of new military checkpoints in southern Lebanon. Ten additional breaches were reported on Saturday alone, underscoring the growing tensions despite the truce.
The alleged violations have been concentrated in several areas in southern Lebanon, such as the Tyre district, Marjayoun, and Bint Jbeil. In the Tyre district, Israeli forces reportedly bulldozed lemon orchards near the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) headquarters in Naqoura, while also demolishing buildings and homes in the vicinity. Additionally, a permanent military checkpoint was set up near the fishermen's harbor, which had previously been under the control of the Lebanese army.
In the Bint Jbeil district, Israeli warplanes conducted low-altitude flights, accompanied by artillery shelling targeting the outskirts of Hanin. Several explosions reportedly destroyed homes in the area. Meanwhile, in Marjayoun, an Israeli drone was spotted flying at low altitude over villages such as Khiam, Qlayaa, and Jdeidet Marjayoun, with Israeli military personnel and vehicles spotted near Deir Mimas.
Since the ceasefire began, at least 30 people have been killed and 37 injured as a result of Israeli attacks, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. Under the terms of the ceasefire, Israeli forces are expected to withdraw south of the Blue Line, the de facto border with Lebanon, while the Lebanese army is tasked with deploying across southern Lebanon within 60 days.
