Israeli strike in eastern Lebanon kills four
The Israeli regime has launched another drone attack on eastern Lebanon, in blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement with the Arab country.
An Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle in the Majdal Anjar area of Lebanon's Bekaa Valley near the Syrian border on Sunday evening, killing at least four people, according to Lebanese state media and health officials.
Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) reported that an Israeli drone struck a car along the Lebanese-Syrian border, near the Masnaa crossing in Majdal Anjar, resulting in four fatalities.
The agency stated that "four bodies" were found inside the vehicle. Lebanon's Health Ministry confirmed the death toll.
The Israeli occupation forces issued a statement claiming the strike targeted members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). PIJ has not yet issued a public response to the claim.
The incident marks another breach of the November 2024 ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah. The truce requires both sides to halt attacks, with Israel committing to withdraw forces from southern Lebanon.
Lebanese authorities and international monitors have accused Israel of repeated violations since the ceasefire took effect.
According to Lebanese sources, more than 370 people have been killed by Israeli fire in the country since the ceasefire. T
The Lebanese government has condemned the regime’s strikes, saying it will take the matter to international courts and the UN Security Council.
Israel began its military aggression against Lebanon on October 8, 2023. On October 1, 2024, Israeli ground forces invaded southern Lebanon, marking the sixth Israeli invasion of the country since 1978.
On November 27, 2024, Hezbollah and Israel announced a “cessation of hostilities” and pledged to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701.
The resolution calls for Hezbollah’s withdrawal from south of the Litani River and for Israeli forces to withdraw from Lebanese territory.
It also states that no armed presence other than the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and the Lebanese army should remain south of the Litani River.
Israel violated the agreement shortly after it was announced. It occupied five strategic points inside Lebanese territory and has continued almost daily attacks since November 2024.
