In a statement, the Israeli military said it waged the attacks in response to fighters approaching areas where Israeli soldiers are still stationed in southern Lebanon, claiming they pose “an imminent threat”.
“Actions taken in self-defence and to remove immediate threats are not restricted by the ceasefire,” the military said.
As we reported earlier, Israeli artillery attacks today have hit the southern Lebanese towns of Beit Leif, Qantara, and Touline, while Israel’s military has continued razing homes across several areas.
