Strikes on 15 locations in southern Lebanon
Over the course of November 8, the Israeli military carried out air and artillery strikes on 15 populated localities and areas in southern Lebanon. This was reported by a Lebanese military field source to RIA Novosti ; the attacks are also covered by Life.ru. According to the agency's source, the aircraft struck Mansourieh, Kfar Tibnit, the outskirts of Tallusa and Barashit, as well as the area between Aita al-Jabal and Houdate.
Artillery and demolitions
In addition to the air force, the Israeli army used artillery: shelling affected the outskirts of Mayfadoun, Zoutar ech-Charkiya and Nabatiyeh el-Fawqa, while shells exploded in the areas of Mansourieh and Kfar Tibnit, in the wooded area of Aita al-Jabal, in the valleys of Wadi Zibqin, Wadi al-Hujeir and Wadi as-Saluki, and on the Hiyam plain. Military personnel also carried out demolitions in the areas of Aita al-Jabal, Kantara and Kfar Tibnit. The source did not provide data on those killed or wounded or on the extent of the destruction.
Actions contrary to the June 26 agreement
Military operations continue against the backdrop of the agreements that Lebanon and Israel reached on June 26 with US mediation. The document provides for the gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanese territory, the deployment of Lebanese army units in border areas, and the disarmament of armed formations that do not submit to the Lebanese state, including Hezbollah. At the same time, the Israeli army continues operations in the south of the country: reports of airstrikes, artillery shelling and demolitions come in almost daily. Thus, the November 8 strikes on 15 locations are not an isolated episode but a continuation of the regular attacks that have been ongoing since the agreement was concluded.
