Demolitions and Shelling Continue
Sunday’s attacks followed another wave of Israeli military operations across south Lebanon early Saturday.
Israeli occupation forces carried out explosive demolitions in Mais al-Jabal, Houla and Tallousa, while artillery and machine-gun fire targeted several other areas.
According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent, Israeli forces conducted a machine-gun sweep toward the Ali al-Taher heights before carrying out demolitions in several southern towns.
At around midnight, Israeli occupation forces used explosives to destroy structures in Mais al-Jabal.
Israeli artillery also shelled the Ali al-Taher heights and targeted al-Mansouri, including a house in the town.
Israeli occupation forces subsequently carried out explosive demolitions in Houla and Tallousa, while the outskirts of Nabatieh al-Fawqa were also subjected to artillery fire.

Attacks Continue despite Negotiations
The attacks form part of continuing Israeli military operations in south Lebanon, which have included the destruction of homes, bulldozing of cemeteries, burning of wooded areas, artillery bombardment and drone strikes.
They have continued despite the framework agreement and direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel aimed at implementing security arrangements and reducing tensions.
Recent days have seen repeated Israeli attacks across southern towns even as negotiations continue, with Lebanese authorities repeatedly condemning Israeli violations and demanding an end to the occupation’s military presence and attacks in the south.
