The big picture:
Israeli regime has conducted near-daily attacks on southern Lebanon in recent months, despite ceasefire agreements.
These strikes often hit civilian areas, constituting systematic violations of international law.
Resistance groups in Lebanon frame the strikes as part of a broader campaign of intimidation aimed at breaking local morale.
