On Thursday, Israeli aircraft struck several locations in the Beqaa Valley, which the military described as camps used by Hezbollah’s Radwan Force. Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported that those strikes killed a child and a woman and injured 29 others.
Although a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon took effect on November 27, 2024, Israeli forces continue to hold five or more positions south of the Litani River and conduct regular strikes across southern and eastern Lebanon, as well as in Beirut’s southern suburbs. UNIFIL has recorded more than 10,000 Israeli violations since the truce, while Lebanon’s Health Ministry reports 340 deaths and more than 970 injuries during that period.
