Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon have caused numerous casualties, as overnight exchanges of fire between Israeli forces and the Iran-backed Hezbollah group continued. According to Lebanon's Civil Defense, 16 people were killed and 12 others were wounded in Israeli attacks on the town of Nabatieh and surrounding villages in the south of the country.
The Israeli military confirmed that it carried out strikes on what it described as “Hezbollah terrorist positions in southern Lebanon.” An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) official said the operations came after Hezbollah fired more than 50 rockets at Israeli forces. The fighting continued despite Israel and Hezbollah agreeing on a ceasefire on Friday, aimed at reducing tensions in the conflict. On Friday alone, the clashes left at least 47 people dead in Lebanon and four Israeli soldiers dead.
The resumption of fighting in Lebanon could also complicate the implementation of the agreement signed on Wednesday between the United States and Iran, which aims to end the conflict that began on February 28. The US-Israeli military campaign against Iran immediately increased tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border. Hezbollah fired rockets into northern Israel, while the IDF responded with military operations inside Lebanese territory.
According to the agreement reached between Washington and Tehran, military operations must cease on all fronts. Iran has argued that the continuation of Israeli attacks in Lebanon contradicts the spirit of this agreement.
According to a report by The New York Times, a recent US intelligence assessment has concluded that Israel is likely to continue operations against Hezbollah, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces domestic pressure following the armed group's attacks in northern Israel.
Meanwhile, US envoy Steve Witkoff traveled to Switzerland on Friday to meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi as part of planned talks between Tehran and Washington.
