Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported that the initial bombardment targeted the Haraj Ali al-Taher area, on the outskirts of Nabatieh al-Fawqa, following intermittent artillery strikes on the zone.

  The source added that Israeli aircraft carried out three additional strikes on the area between the towns of Beit Yahoun, Quonine, and Baraachit, in the Bint Jbeil district.

  These new incursions occur despite the signing of a framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel—mediated by the United States—on June 26.

  They also follow Tuesday’s announcement by Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar regarding a new round of talks between the two sides in Rome next week.

  The day before, the Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that the death toll from the Israeli aggression against Lebanon had risen to 4,320 since March 2.

  Israel, which continues to occupy parts of southern Lebanon—some held for decades and others seized during the war that began in 2023—penetrated more than 10 kilometers into Lebanese territory in this instance.
