Israel intensifies attacks in southern Lebanon despite ceasefire

Beirut, Apr 22 (Prensa Latina) The Israeli army intensified its attacks against several towns in southern Lebanon, with artillery shelling, explosions, and the demolition of homes, despite the ceasefire in effect since last week.

The Lebanese National News Agency reported that the town of Houla was the target of intense artillery fire, while shelling was also reported in its Deir neighborhood and in the town of Tayr Harfa.

Low-altitude overflights by Israeli drones were also reported over the city of Tyre, coinciding with the launching of projectiles toward the outskirts of Quonine from Beit Yahoun, in the Bint Jbeil district.

According to the source, Israeli forces continued demolishing homes and destroying infrastructure in border villages such as Beit Leef, Shamaa, Al-Bayada, and Naqoura, where they also planted explosive charges in residential areas before detonating them.

In the town of Bint Jbeil, several buildings were blown up in the Al-Maslakh neighborhood, while similar operations took place in other areas under military control.

The Official Vocational School building in Khiam was also completely destroyed after being mined and detonated overnight, according to reports.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army reiterated warnings to the civilian population not to travel south or return to towns near the border, particularly in areas near the Litani River and Wadi Salouqi. Since March 2nd, the Israeli offensive against Lebanon has left 2,454 dead, 7,658 wounded, and more than one million displaced, according to official figures.
