Israeli attacks intensified across southern Lebanon on Sunday, in continued violation of a declared ceasefire, just two days after Lebanese authorities announced a 45-day extension of the truce, an agreement that has yet to translate into calm on the ground.
The attacks took place in Nabatieh, Bint Jbeil and Tyre districts as well as in Western Bekaa, according to Al-Manar correspondents.
Since dawn on Sunday, heavy Israeli artillery shelling targeted multiple towns in the Nabatieh district, including Zawtar Al-Sharqiyah, Yuhmor Al-Shaqif, Kfar Tebnit, Nabatieh Al-Fawqa, Kfar Sir and Mayfadoun. Airstrikes hit Zawtar Al-Sharqiyah and Jebshit, which was also struck by another raid carried out by a drone. Our correspondent added that as unmanned aircraft maintained low-altitude flights over villages in the area.

In the Western Bekaa, Israeli warplanes launched three strikes on the outskirts of Yuhmor, reportedly targeting livestock farms. Additional raids, conducted by both aircraft and drones, hit the town of Suhmor.
