The Israeli army continued on Thursday to blow up and burn civilian homes and properties in two villages in the Nabatieh Governorate in southern Lebanon.

Thus, Israel recorded two new violations of the ceasefire, raising the total since the ceasefire agreement came into effect 80 days ago to 928 violations.

Israeli forces also conducted fresh bombings on several local homes in Kfar Kila town in the Marjeyoun district of Nabatieh.

Along the same line, the Israeli army burned several homes and properties in Adaisseh town also in Nabatieh.

On January 27, Lebanon announced its agreement to extend the Israeli army withdrawal from south Lebanon until February 18.

This decision came despite the Israeli military’s failure to adhere to a deadline for troop withdrawal and the reported fatalities of nearly two dozen individuals in the southern region of the country at the hands of the Israeli armed forces.

Since the start of the agreement, though, the Israeli occupation forces have been conducting near-daily attacks on Lebanon in violation of the ceasefire, including airstrikes across the country.

On January 10, Lebanon lodged a formal complaint with the UN Security Council regarding Israeli acts of aggression targeting agricultural lands and livestock in the southern region of the country, in violation of the truce agreement.

A fragile ceasefire has been in place since Nov. 27 last year, ending a period of massive aggression that began on Oct. 8, 2023, and escalated into a full-scale conflict on Sept. 23 last year.

Lebanese data indicates that since Israel’s onslaught against Lebanon, at least 4,080 people have been killed, including women, children and health workers, while 16,753 have been injured.
