Lebanon: Israeli shelling targets 5 towns and drones fly over Beirut

The Israeli occupation army today carried out artillery shelling and machine-gun sweeping targeting five towns in the Nabatieh, Marjeyoun, and Tyre districts of southern Lebanon, concurrent with low-altitude drone flights over Beirut, in a continuous violation of the framework agreement. No reports of casualties.

The Israeli occupation army today, Friday, carried out artillery shelling and machine-gun sweeping targeting five towns in the Nabatieh, Marjeyoun, and Tyre districts of southern Lebanon, concurrent with low-altitude drone flights over the capital Beirut, in a continuous violation of the framework agreement. The National News Agency reported that an Israeli tank fired two artillery shells towards a house in the Masha' area of the town of Mivdoun in the Nabatieh district. In the Marjeyoun district, artillery targeted the towns of Taloussa and Bani Hayyan, along with machine-gun sweeping towards Taloussa. In the Tyre district, artillery shelling targeted the towns of Majdal Zoun and Beit al-Sayyad, and Israeli forces fired machine guns towards the main road leading to the town of Mansouri. In a simultaneous development, the agency reported drone flights at low altitude over Beirut without launching attacks. No immediate reports of casualties from the shelling and gunfire. These attacks come despite the "framework formula" agreement signed by Beirut and Tel Aviv under American mediation on June 26, which stipulates an Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories in exchange for the deployment of the Lebanese army there. Israel still occupies areas in southern Lebanon since the Israeli aggression between 2023 and 2024, which saw a ground incursion reaching about 10 kilometers inside Lebanese territory.
