Israel launches new strikes in Lebanon on truce anniversary

The Israeli military carried out another series of strikes against Hizbollah in southern Lebanon on Thursday, exactly a year into the ceasefire with the group.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said Israeli aircraft launched “a series of raids on ‘Al Mahmoudiya and Al Jarmak,” just north of the Litani River. The Nov.27, 2024 ceasefire sought to end over a year of hostilities between the two sides. But Israel has repeatedly bombed Lebanon despite the truce, usually saying it is targeting Hizbollah members and infrastructure to stop the group from rearming.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said his country was “in a one-sided war of attrition that is escalating.”
