An Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon has killed four people, including a headteacher, her mother, and two workers, in Nabatieh. The Israeli army stated that the targeted vehicle approached a security zone and posed a threat to its forces. This incident marks the deadliest Israeli attack in Lebanon since a U.S.-brokered ceasefire was announced last month, violating its terms.
In a separate incident, Israeli forces killed a 16-year-old Palestinian during a raid on the Qalandiya refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. Two other minors were injured during the raid. Footage from the incident appears to show an Israeli soldier throwing a stun grenade into a car occupied by young Palestinians.
Amidst these escalations, Israel is reportedly preparing a pilot project for withdrawal from two areas in southern Lebanon. This plan involves handing over control to the Lebanese army and includes the gradual disarmament of Hezbollah. The proposal awaits approval from the U.S. Central Command.
Furthermore, Israeli forces have conducted a raid in a Syrian village in the Quneitra countryside, establishing a temporary military checkpoint. This action is part of a broader pattern of increased Israeli military operations in southern Syria.
