Anadolu Agency reported Thursday, citing Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA), that Israeli strikes and other military activity took place across southern Lebanon as a U.S.-backed framework sets terms for Israel’s withdrawal and Lebanese army deployment.
NNA named Haddatha, Al-Mansouri, Kfar Tebnit and Qantara as airstrike locations. Explosions were also reported in Zawtar al-Sharqiyah, Qantara, Kfar Tebnit and Kounine. In Qantara, the explosion came earlier in the day than the airstrike; Kfar Tebnit had an airstrike followed by an explosion.
In Mayfadoun, NNA reported three Israeli drone blasts, two on house roofs and a third above the town that sent debris into a house garden. The agency also reported a drone dropping two stun grenades near farmers outside Kfar Shuba, artillery shells fired toward Rshaf’s outskirts and machine-gun fire directed at Srebbine. Low-flying drones were reported over Jdeidet Marjayoun and Tyre.
The U.S.-backed agreement signed by Lebanon, Israel and the United States on June 26 assigns security duties in designated areas to the Lebanese army and calls for verified disarmament of armed groups outside state control as Israel withdraws in phases. EconoTimes previously covered other Israeli strike reports in southern Lebanon. Anadolu also reported that Israel continues to occupy parts of the south, including positions held for decades and areas seized during the 2023-24 war, when Israeli ground forces advanced about 10 kilometers into Lebanon.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said Israeli attacks since March 2 had killed 4,390 people and injured 12,429 as of Nov. 5.
