On Monday evening, the Israeli warplanes launched a series of airstrikes on towns in southern Lebanon, and carried out reconnaissance flights in its airspace, despite the ceasefire agreement between Tel Aviv and Hezbollah.
The official Lebanese News Agency said, "The enemy (Israeli) warplanes carried out a series of raids this evening (Monday), targeting the towns of Yaroun, Maroun al-Ras and Hanin in the Bint Jbeil district, and al-Sarirah in the Jezzine district."
The agency added that "hostile drones and reconnaissance aircraft are flying in the skies of Tyre and its surroundings."
Since dawn on November 27, a fragile ceasefire has prevailed, ending the mutual shelling between Israel and Hezbollah that began on October 8, 2023, and then turned into a full-scale war in the last two months.
However, Israel violated the agreement dozens of times and launched attacks on Lebanese territory that resulted in deaths and injuries, which prompted Hezbollah on Monday evening to target the Israeli Ruwaysat al-Alam site in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Shuba hills, as an "initial warning response" to Tel Aviv's repeated violations of the agreement.
As a result, Israeli ministers, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, called for a "harsh" response to Hezbollah, considering that "the time for containment is over."
