Story Code : 1179791
The violations, reported by Anadolu Agency and based on announcements from Lebanon's National News Agency, were concentrated in Tyre in the South governorate and the Marjayoun and Bint Jbeil districts in the Nabatieh governorate.
Saturday’s breaches included artillery shelling, incursions by soldiers and military vehicles, bulldozing of agricultural land, demolition of homes and buildings, low-altitude flights by warplanes and drones, and the establishment of a military checkpoint.
In Tyre, Israeli forces bulldozed lemon orchards near the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) headquarters in Naqoura.
They also demolished homes and buildings in the same area and set up a permanent military checkpoint on a site previously controlled by the Lebanese army near the fishermen's harbor.
In Bint Jbeil, Israeli warplanes flew at low altitudes, and artillery shells struck the outskirts of Hanin.
The army reportedly blew up several homes in the same area.
In Marjayoun, a drone operated by the Israeli army was seen flying at low altitude over Khiam, Burj Al-Muluk, Qlayaa, Jdeidet Marjayoun, Dibbine, Blat, and the Marjayoun plain.
Additionally, around 20 Israeli soldiers, accompanied by military vehicles and bulldozers, stationed themselves at the entrance to Deir Mimas.
At least 30 people have been killed and 37 injured in Israeli attacks since the cease-fire agreement took effect on Nov. 27, according to an Anadolu tally based on Lebanese Health Ministry data.
The ceasefire deal requires Israel to gradually withdraw its forces south of the Blue Line, a de facto border, while the Lebanese army is expected to deploy in southern Lebanon within 60 days.
Lebanese health authorities report that more than 4,000 people have been killed and over 16,500 injured in Israeli attacks since October 2023, with over 1 million displaced.
