Israeli strike on south Lebanon wounds three people, including child: Lebanon Health Ministry

The Lebanese Health Ministry says an Israeli strike on a village in southern Lebanon has left at least three people injured, including a child, despite a ceasefire agreement between the occupying regime and Hezbollah.

AhlulBayt News Agency: The Lebanese Health Ministry says an Israeli strike on a village in southern Lebanon has left at least three people injured, including a child, despite a ceasefire agreement between the occupying regime and Hezbollah.

The ministry said in a statement on Saturday that the Israeli raid targeted a vehicle in the village of Majdal  Zoun, “wounding three people, including a seven-year-old child.”

The latest development comes as the Israeli military continues to violate the truce since it went into effect on Wednesday, conducting fresh attacks on Lebanon.

According to the al-Akhbar news outlet, Israeli artillery shelling struck the al-Khiam plain in southern Lebanon on Saturday.

Israeli military vehicles were also seen patrolling the town of Deir Mimas following the ceasefire, while an Israeli warplane was spotted flying over the Iqlim al-Tuffah region.

Israeli forces also besieged a family in their home in the border village of Aitaroun after they advanced toward the eastern outskirts of the town.

Meanwhile, the Lebanese official National News Agency (NNA) reported that the Israeli military violated the truce agreement seven more times on Friday, mostly in the Marjayoun district of the southern governorate of Nabatieh and the Tyre district.

The Israeli military also shelled the outskirts of the southern towns of Markaba, Talloussa, Odaisseh, Taybeh and Houla, NNA said, adding that an Israeli tank also fired shells at a home in Tal Nahas on the outskirts of the town of Kfar Kila, narrowly missing the homeowner who had just entered the house.

Also in the strategic town of Khiam, the regime forces reportedly opened fire on people in a funeral procession, after the military sent four tanks into the western part of the town.   

Israel was forced to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah after suffering heavy losses following more than 14 months of fighting and failing to achieve its goals in its aggression on Lebanon.

The truce agreement, brokered by the United States and France, came into effect before dawn on Wednesday. It will last for 60 days in the hope of reaching a permanent cessation of hostilities.

At least 3,961 people were killed and 16,520 others injured in Israeli attacks on Lebanon.
