Beirut: Seven people were injured on Tuesday evening in an Israeli airstrike targeting a town in southern Lebanon, marking another violation of the ceasefire agreement. "This evening's Israeli enemy airstrike on Nabatiyeh initially resulted in seven injuries," the Lebanese Health Ministry said in a statement.
According to Anadolu Agency, Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) reported that "an explosion was heard in the town of Nabatiyeh al-Fawqa, and flames were seen rising at the site." Meanwhile, the Israeli army confirmed in a statement that it carried out an airstrike on Nabatiyeh in southern Lebanon.
The incident adds tension to an already strained relationship between the two nations, as Lebanese officials condemn the attack as a breach of the ceasefire agreement. The international community has been watching the situation closely, urging both sides to exercise restraint.
The airstrike in Nabatiyeh follows a series of similar incidents in recent months, which have led to increased calls for diplomatic intervention to prevent further escalation. The Lebanese government has appealed to global leaders to hold Israel accountable for the repeated violations of the ceasefire.
Efforts are underway to assess the damage caused by the attack and to provide medical assistance to those injured. Local authorities in Nabatiyeh are working to ensure the safety of residents and to prevent further incidents from occurring.
