Israel Intensifies Military Operations in Southern Lebanon

The Israeli army continued to carry out airstrikes, artillery shelling, and explosions in various areas of southern Lebanon on Saturday.

According to the National News Agency, violent explosions were heard in the town of Al-Qantara, while Israeli warplanes conducted two airstrikes today on the area between the towns of Nabatieh el-Fawka and Kfar Tebnit in southern Lebanon.

The agency added that Israeli artillery shelling targeted the towns of Baraachit and Hadatha in the south, noting that Israeli drone flights were recorded over Beirut's southern suburbs.

Israel has been waging a war against Lebanon since March 2, following rocket launches by Hezbollah on northern Israel.

Israeli forces occupied a number of towns in southern Lebanon.

A ceasefire was announced on June 20, after which the frequency of Israeli targeting in southern Lebanon decreased.
