Israel air raid hits southern Lebanon as attacks continue
Israeli drone-fired missiles have hit a vehicle near a hospital in southern Lebanon’s Bint Jbeil area, reports the Lebanese National News Agency. It did not mention any casualties.
The report comes after a series of Israeli strikes in Lebanon in recent days, which Israel claims targeted Hezbollah fighters and military sites.
Despite a year-old ceasefire, Hezbollah has accused Israel of exploiting Lebanon’s internal divisions and continuing its attacks under the pretext of “security operations”. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned last week that Israel could intensify attacks on Lebanon.

An Israeli drone attack on a car in southern Lebanon’s Bint Jbeil has injured seven people, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.
Two missiles hit the vehicle near Salah Ghandour Hospital, reported Lebanon’s National News Agency.
The Israeli military says it’s targeting Hezbollah installations, accusing the armed group of refusing to disarm in accordance with an agreement reached last year.
New Israeli attack in southern Lebanon kills 2 as strikes continue
An Israeli air strike targeting a vehicle between the southeastern Lebanese towns of Ain Ata and Shebaa has killed two brothers, reports Lebanon’s National News Agency.
Israel’s military has not commented on the latest deadly attack, which adds to a series of escalating strikes it has carried out in Lebanon in recent days despite a ceasefire brokered a year ago.
EU urges Israel to ‘cease actions that violate’ Lebanon ceasefire
The European Union’s foreign affairs spokesman Anouar El Anouni has denounced Israel’s latest wave of attacks on southern Lebanon.
He urged the country to “cease all actions that violate resolution 1701 and the ceasefire agreement reached a year ago in November 2024”.
“At the same time, we urge all Lebanese actors, and especially Hezbollah, to refrain from any measures or responses that could further inflame the situation,” added El Anouni. “Focus by all parties must be on preserving the ceasefire and the progress achieved so far.”
The EU is back to "denouncing" and "urging" and that after a full year of Israel violating the ceasefire. Useless. And of course more to warn Lebanon and Hezbollah not to respond, not to defend themselves. Every time Israel ramps up the attacks it's "please don't escalate by defending yourselves against Israeli strikes".
