An Israeli drone strike in Rashkananya, Lebanon, killed one person amidst a fragile ceasefire established in November 2024. Israeli forces have breached ceasefire terms by maintaining troops in strategic areas of Lebanon. Lebanese leaders condemned these actions, asserting violations of sovereignty and calling for international intervention.
An Israeli drone strike recently targeted a vehicle in Rashkananya, southern Lebanon, resulting in one casualty. The strike, which damaged a car adjacent to a residential house, occurred amidst a fragile ceasefire that began on November 27, 2024, after extensive hostilities, including a significant two-month war.
Despite the ceasefire, Israel has continued to conduct military operations in Lebanon. Reports indicated that on February 27, Israeli forces attacked a Hezbollah observation post in the southern region. Initially, Israel was expected to withdraw from southern Lebanon by late January, but it requested an extension and later violated ceasefire terms by maintaining troop positions in five strategic areas along the border.
Lebanese leaders have expressed their discontent regarding Israeli military presence, stating it constitutes an occupation. The speaker of Lebanon’s Parliament, Nabih Mustafa Berri, highlighted that the Israeli forces are infringing upon Lebanese sovereignty by establishing a buffer zone extending into Lebanese territory. He called for international intervention to stop these violations.
Berri further condemned Israeli actions as attempts to reshape regional dynamics, particularly through interference in Syria and strategic support to specific groups. The UN and Arab nations also criticized recent military movements by Israel in the Golan Heights as violations of international law and regional stability.
Israel’s military operations, including troop presence beyond the agreed ceasefire terms, underscore ongoing tensions and pose challenges to regional peace. The situation requires urgent attention from the international community to address the claims of sovereignty violations and uphold the ceasefire agreement established with UN mediation.
The Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon highlights ongoing tensions and violations of the ceasefire initiated in late November 2024. Despite the agreement, Israel continues military operations within Lebanese territory, drawing criticism from Lebanese leaders and the international community. The situation remains delicate, necessitating intervention to ensure adherence to ceasefire terms and respect for Lebanon’s sovereignty.
