Hezbollah has not commented on the strikes.
Despite the November 27, 2024, ceasefire, Israel continues to launch air and drone strikes across southern and eastern Lebanon, including Beirut’s southern suburbs, while maintaining a presence at five positions inside Lebanese territory.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has recorded at least 103 civilian deaths since the truce took effect, primarily in residential areas or near UN peacekeeping posts. However, Lebanon’s Health Ministry reports a higher toll of more than 285 dead and 630 wounded.
