Israeli forces blow up homes in three south Lebanon villages

Lebanese sources reported that Israeli troops detonated explosives in three villages in the Bint Jbeil district of southern Lebanon. The targeted villages were not named in the initial reports. Israeli forces also conducted clearing operations with heavy weapons in the area between Kounin and Bint Jbeil, and artillery units shelled the vicinity of Beit Yahoun. These attacks follow a pattern of continued Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon despite the ceasefire agreement. On Sunday, Israeli forces set homes ablaze in the town of Khiam and struck targets in Nabatieh. According to Lebanese health authorities, the Lebanese death toll since March 2 has passed 4,175, with more than 12,000 wounded. The June 18 ceasefire memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States requires a halt to hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon. A dispute resolution mechanism with Lebanese, Iranian, U.S., Qatari, and Pakistani participation was agreed upon at the Switzerland talks, though the Israeli regime has no role in that body. According to Mehr News, the latest incidents underscore the fragile nature of the ceasefire and ongoing tensions in the region.
