Beirut: The occupations military shelling targeted the outskirts of Haddatha and Baraachit in southern Lebanon, Al Jazeera reported on Monday.
The agency also reported overnight shelling of al Mansouri and Majdal Zoun. Details of casualties and damage were not provided.
The attacks come against the backdrop of the ceasefire that took effect on November 27, 2024, following more than a year of fighting between the occupation and Hezbollah.
That conflict escalated sharply in 2024, with extensive airstrikes by the occupation across Lebanon and a ground offensive in the south.
The ceasefire was intended to halt hostilities, enable occupation's withdrawal and expand the Lebanese army’s deployment in southern areas. Its framework draws on UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 war and provides for southern Lebanon to be free of unauthorised armed forces and weapons.
Continued attacks have undermined the security that the agreement was intended to restore. Lebanese media have repeatedly reported strikes, artillery fire and demolitions in southern towns, including areas named in Monday’s update.
The civilian consequences extend beyond individual attacks. Renewed fire threatens the safety of communities trying to return, repair homes and resume farming and other livelihoods.
A UN report published earlier this year recorded at least 134 civilian deaths from Israeli military operations in Lebanon since the November 2024 ceasefire, including 22 women and 24 children. That is an earlier verified count, rather than a current total.
Monday’s brief report did not identify a specific target or explain the circumstances behind the latest shelling.
