Lebanon accused Israeli forces of breaching the cease-fire agreement 14 times on Friday, intensifying tensions in the volatile region.
The latest violations, reported by Lebanon’s state-run NNA news agency, include shelling in the Marjayoun and Tyre districts of southern Lebanon.
In one incident, an Israeli tank fired a shell at a home in Tel Nahas near Burj Al-Moulouk, narrowly missing the homeowner.
Additional shelling targeted the outskirts of Markaba, Talloussa, Odaisseh, Taybeh, and Houla towns, while four Israeli tanks advanced into the western Khiyam area.
During a funeral procession in Khiyam, Israeli forces reportedly opened fire, exacerbating fears among local residents.
Israeli bulldozers were also seen uprooting olive trees and clearing agricultural lands in Kfarkela’s Abbara neighborhood, a move criticized as further aggression.
The Israeli military claims these actions targeted a Hezbollah-operated rocket launcher, though Lebanese authorities have yet to respond to the allegations.
Since the cease-fire began Wednesday, Lebanon has documented 32 violations, including shelling and incursions.
The truce, brokered to end 14 months of conflict between Israeli forces and Hezbollah, requires Israel to withdraw south of the Blue Line, while Lebanon’s army is tasked with securing the area within 60 days.
Enforcement of the agreement, overseen by the US and France, remains ambiguous, raising concerns about further instability.
The conflict has already claimed over 3,960 lives, injured more than 16,500, and displaced over 1 million people since October 2023, according to Lebanese health authorities.
