Israeli occupation forces violated the ceasefire in southern Lebanon by destroying three civilian homes in the town of Aitaroun, following a limited ground incursion, local security sources reported.

According to Lebanese security sources, special forces carried out a targeted operation in the southeastern neighborhood of Aitaroun, detonating three residential buildings before withdrawing from the area. The explosions, which occurred early in the morning in the Khanouk region, caused significant property damage. No casualties were reported.

A spokesperson for the occupation army stated that the previous night, buildings in the nearby village of Hula, allegedly belonging to Hezbollah’s military infrastructure, had been targeted. The day before, three homes owned by the Shihimi family in the same village were also demolished.

These incidents follow 20 ceasefire violations recorded in a single day, illustrating the ongoing threats to civilian life and property in southern Lebanon. Occupation forces continue to carry out air and ground attacks on villages and suburbs, citing Hezbollah positions and storage facilities as targets.

The escalation is part of a broader campaign that began in October 2023, which developed into a full-scale war in September 2024, leaving over 4,000 people dead and approximately 17,000 injured. A ceasefire agreement was reached in November 2024, yet attacks persist in defiance of the truce.

The ongoing violations underscore the fragile nature of the ceasefire and the urgent need for international monitoring and protection of civilians in the border regions. (ILKHA)
