Israeli warplanes struck multiple sites in southern and eastern Lebanon on Sunday, causing casualties, Lebanese media reported.

According to Lebanon’s Health Ministry, one person was killed and another was wounded in the strike that hit a hangar between the southern Lebanese towns of Khirbet Selm and Bir al-Salasil in Bint Jbeil district.

Additional attacks, local outlets said, included a drone strike on a vehicle between Barish and Maaroub in southern Lebanon’s Tyre district, killing one person. Raids also targeted the eastern mountain range near Nabi Sheet in the Shaara area, where no casualties were reported.

On X, Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee claimed that the operation targeted “Hezbollah-linked sites,” including a facility in Bir al-Salasil allegedly used for weapons production, infrastructure in the Beqaa, and an individual he identified as a Hezbollah operative in the Bazouriyeh area in the south.

Despite the US-brokered ceasefire signed on November 27, 2024, between Israel and Lebanon, Israeli forces continue to hold five positions south of the Litani River and conduct regular strikes across southern and eastern Lebanon, as well as in Beirut’s southern suburbs. UNIFIL has recorded more than 10,000 Israeli violations since the truce, while Lebanon’s Health Ministry reports 340 deaths and more than 970 injuries during that period.
