The Israeli regime has conducted another airstrike on Lebanon in violation of the ceasefire agreement, injuring at least 14 people.

The Lebanese channel Al-Mayadeen reported that there were at least two Israeli attacks on the Nabatieh area, with the first targeting the city of Nabatieh and the second targeting the outskirts of the town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa.

The channel said one strike was carried out by an Israeli drone targeting a civilian vehicle. It marks the first assault on Nabatieh since the ceasefire took effect on November 27, 2024.

In another incident on Tuesday, the Israeli military struck a convoy of cars in the Yaroun area, injuring at least three civilians and one Lebanese soldier.

The Lebanese military reported that their forces were escorting displaced residents returning to the southern border towns.

The Israeli regime has committed grave ceasefire violations in recent weeks, and those attacks have continued even after the expiration of a 60-day deadline for the withdrawal of Israeli forces on January 26.

Israeli forces killed 22 people in southern Lebanon on that day as thousands of people tried to return home in defiance of Israeli military threats.

The same day, the United States said the agreement would be extended until February 18. Israel said on January 24 that it would keep troops in the south beyond the deadline set out in the US-brokered ceasefire.

On Monday, Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sheikh Naeem Qassem rejected any extension of the Israeli withdrawal deadline, stating that there should be "no extension for even one day."

He underscored that continued occupation constitutes aggression against Lebanon’s sovereignty, and everyone—from the government to the people, resistance groups, parties, and all sects—bears responsibility to confront the occupation.

He said the resistance has "the right to act as it sees fit regarding the form, nature, and timing of confrontation."
