Beirut: The Israeli military committed 17 violations of a ceasefire deal in Lebanon on Tuesday. The breaches were concentrated in Beirut and the districts of Bint Jbeil, Marjeyoun, and Hasbaiyya in the Nabatieh Governorate, involving drone flights, incursions, demolitions, and arson.

According to Anadolu Agency, Israeli drones conducted intensive low-altitude flights over Beirut. In the Bint Jbeil district, bulldozers cleared roads in Maroun al-Ras, and infantry units advanced toward the Al-Maslakha neighborhood on the outskirts of Bint Jbeil city. Israeli forces detonated gates, raided homes, and fired intermittently from machine guns. Tanks later joined the incursion, shelling a house and detonating several homes in the village of Yaroun.

In the Marjeyoun district, Israeli troops moved from Bani Hayyan into Wadi Saluki, demolishing houses and buildings. Another force advanced from Taybeh to Aadchit El Qsair, with operations carried out in Qaryna and Dabbash west of Meiss al-Jabal. Additionally, Israel set fire to a two-story home in Burj al-Muluk and destroyed vehicles and equipment belonging to the Ward Company, which is involved in the Litani River water transfer project, known as Project 800.

The village of Sadana in Hasbaya was also targeted by multiple shells fired by Israeli forces. The fragile ceasefire has been in place since November 27, ending a period of mutual shelling between Israel and the Lebanese resistance group, Hezbollah, that began on October 8, 2023, and escalated into a full-scale conflict on September 23.

As of Friday, Israel has carried out 618 violations of the ceasefire deal, resulting in the deaths of 37 people and injuries to an additional 45, according to Lebanese official data compiled by Anadolu.
