Why it matters:
The attack underscores Israel’s continued breaches of the ceasefire, despite international guarantees, and highlights growing concerns over Tel Aviv’s escalating aggression with full backing from the United States.
The big picture:
An Israeli drone targeted a civilian vehicle on Saturday in the town of Rabb Thalathin in southern Lebanon.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry confirmed that one Lebanese citizen was martyred in the attack.
The strike comes amid near-daily Israeli assaults on southern Lebanon, despite a ceasefire that was supposed to halt the Israeli aggressions more than a year ago.
What’s happening:
Lebanese officials say Israel has committed thousands of ceasefire violations since the agreement came into effect.
On the ground, Israeli aggression has continued unabated, contradicting claims of de-escalation by Tel Aviv.
Go deeper:
Hezbollah has repeatedly stated that its weapons are defensive and tied directly to Israel’s continued occupation and violations.
Lebanon has lodged multiple complaints with the United Nations over Israel’s aggressions, with little international response.
