Shafaq News– Beirut

Israeli aircraft carried out multiple air raids across southern Lebanon, despite an ongoing ceasefire, Lebanese media reported on Friday.

The raids hit the Aaqmata plain, the outskirts of the Rihan, along with the towns of Ansar, Zrariyeh, Kafroue, and Aazza.

There were no immediate reports of casualties from Lebanese authorities.

In a statement, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee claimed the strikes targeted “Hezbollah sites” in southern Lebanon, including what he described as a training complex used by the group’s Radwan Force and military buildings used to store weapons.

Earlier today, Israeli forces struck an excavator in the border town of Aita Al-Shaab.

Despite a US-brokered ceasefire signed on November 27, 2024, Israeli forces continue to occupy five positions south of the Litani River and have carried out repeated strikes across southern and eastern Lebanon, as well as Beirut’s southern suburbs. UNIFIL has recorded more than 10,000 Israeli violations since the truce, while Lebanon’s Health Ministry reports at least 340 deaths and more than 970 injuries during that period.
