At least one person was killed in an attack by Israeli forces on a vehicle driving through a town in Nabatiyeh, southern Lebanon, on Sunday.
Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health suggested in a statement carried by state news agency NNA that the attack occurred in Humin al-Fuka.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has so far not provided any information in this regard, but it has launched dozens of bombing raids against Lebanon despite the ceasefire in November 2024, claiming that this is an act contrary to the activities of the Shiite militia Hezbollah and therefore not a violation of the agreement, although both Beirut and Hezbollah have criticized these actions, and they have also been condemned by the United Nations. There are about 11,000 soldiers deployed in the region, about 700 of them Spanish.
The ceasefire, agreed after months of fighting following the October 7, 2023 attack on Israeli territory by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), contemplated the need for both Israel and Hezbollah to withdraw their troops from southern Lebanon. However, the Israeli army maintains five military posts on the territory of the neighboring country, which has also been criticized by Lebanese authorities and Shiite groups who have called for an end to this presence.
