Why it matters:
The strikes mark another violation of the fragile ceasefire between Lebanon and the Israeli regime, raising fears of renewed escalation along the border. The repeated breaches undermine regional stability and highlight the lack of accountability by international monitoring bodies.
The big picture:
The Israeli regime has repeatedly carried out air and artillery attacks on Lebanese territory since the last ceasefire agreement, targeting both civilian areas and infrastructure. The Beqaa Valley, long considered a strategic zone, is now witnessing intensified bombardments, worsening humanitarian conditions.
What they’re saying:
Lebanon’s Ministry of Health confirmed the casualties and said medical teams are “working around the clock” to assist survivors.
Hezbollah called on the Lebanese government and the ceasefire monitoring committee to hold the Israeli regime accountable for “aggressive violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty.”
Key points:
- Israeli warplanes struck Harbata and Hermel early Monday morning.
- The Hermel district was bombed at least seven times, causing heavy damage to homes and infrastructure.
- Lebanon’s Health Ministry confirmed 5 martyrs and 5 wounded, all civilians.
- Emergency teams were deployed immediately to treat the injured.
- The attacks came despite the ongoing ceasefire framework, which the Israeli regime has repeatedly violated.
