Israel launches over 20 airstrikes in southern Lebanon, violating ceasefire

Despite an established ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, Israeli warplanes launched over 20 airstrikes across southern Lebanon, targeting various towns and valleys. These strikes reportedly came after Israel claimed to have targeted a Hezbollah member in a separate drone attack that resulted in one death and critical injuries. The ceasefire, which took effect on November 27, has been marred by nearly 1,100 reported violations, including significant casualties. Local authorities have expressed discontent over Israel's continued military presence in southern Lebanon beyond the agreed withdrawal deadline. In a related escalation, Israeli forces conducted the largest series of airstrikes since the ceasefire began, claiming to target Hezbollah military positions. This ongoing conflict raises concerns over the effectiveness of international ceasefire agreements and the humanitarian impact on civilians in the region.
