Israel attacks southern Lebanon despite ceasefire negotiations

The Israeli regime forces have carried out a new attack in southern Lebanon, despite ongoing ceasefire negotiations. According to Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA), Israeli troops fired machine guns toward Wadi al-Salouqi in the southern Lebanese governorate of Nabatieh and shelled the town of Mansouri with artillery overnight. The agency added that Kfar Tebnit was also targeted in bombing attacks, while the outskirts of Nabatieh al-Fawqa came under intermittent artillery shelling. No immediate reports were available on casualties or the extent of material damage caused by the attacks.

The latest aggression comes days after the conclusion of the seventh round of US-brokered Lebanese-Israeli negotiations in Rome on Thursday. The talks focused on issues related to the implementation of the framework agreement signed on June 26. Under the framework agreement, the Israeli regime is required to gradually withdraw from occupied Lebanese territory, beginning with a pilot phase in certain areas, in exchange for the deployment of the Lebanese army and the disarmament of armed groups, referring to Hezbollah resistance forces.

Despite the negotiations, the Israeli regime has continued its military campaign in Lebanon. The attacks have raised concerns about the stability of the ceasefire and the progress of diplomatic efforts. The Lebanese government has repeatedly called for the full implementation of the framework agreement and an end to Israeli violations.

The United States, which brokered the talks, has not yet commented on the latest incident. The situation remains tense, with both sides accusing each other of violating the terms of the agreement. According to the report by Mehr News Agency (MNA), the Israeli regime's continued military actions undermine the peace process and threaten regional stability.
