Why it matters:
The renewed escalation threatens to unravel the fragile ceasefire and intensify instability along the Lebanon-Israel border. Iranian and resistance-aligned media frame the attacks as part of a broader pattern of Israeli impunity, compounded by Western complicity.
The big picture:
Drone and air force activity over Lebanese airspace has become routine, raising concerns about sovereignty and civilian safety. Lebanese officials remain largely powerless to respond, while internal political factions continue to debate disarming the resistance—a move critics argue would further expose the country to Israeli aggression.
Key points:
In the border town of Aita al-Shaab, an Israeli drone targeted a motorcycle, killing one person.
Hours earlier, another drone strike hit a vehicle on the al-Duwair–Sharqiyah road in Nabatieh province, killing one and injuring seven, as confirmed by Lebanon’s Health Ministry.
What they’re saying:
Lebanese outlets report that these attacks are part of Israel’s near-daily violations of the ceasefire agreement signed in December 2024. Despite the deal brokered by the U.S.—which required Israeli forces to withdraw from southern Lebanon within 60 days—the Israeli regime has maintained its presence in five strategic positions and carried out thousands of breaches since.
