TEHRAN – Israel’s airstrikes on southern and eastern Lebanon on Sunday once again exposed what many in Lebanon describe as the regime’s entrenched disregard for international law and ceasefire agreements. The Lebanese Health Ministry confirmed that one civilian was killed and several others wounded after an Israeli strike hit the area near Kfardounin in the Bint Jbeil District, a region that has endured repeated bombardment despite the 2024 ceasefire.

These attacks are part of a broader pattern that has unfolded since the ceasefire was announced. Over the past two years, Israeli forces have carried out neardaily violations, including drone overflights, artillery shelling, and targeted strikes on residential neighborhoods. UNIFIL has repeatedly documented these breaches, warning that the frequency and intensity of Israeli operations threaten to unravel the fragile calm along the border. Lebanese officials say the violations are not sporadic incidents but a sustained campaign aimed at destabilizing the south and exerting pressure on the resistance.

According to the Lebanese Health Ministry and UN monitoring groups, hundreds of people have been killed in Lebanon since the ceasefire, with thousands more displaced as Israeli strikes continue to hit homes, farmland, and critical infrastructure across the south.
