🔻 Israeli forces launch air, artillery, and phosphorus attacks on southern Lebanon 📌 Tehran, IRNA – Israeli forces have launched airstrikes as well as artillery and heavy-machine-gun fire against areas in southern Lebanon’s Nabatieh district, using phosphorus shells. Al Mayadeen network’s correspondent in southern Lebanon reported that Israeli warplanes targeted an area between Ali al-Taher and al-Dabsha in the Nabatieh district. ​ Israeli occupation forces simultaneously fired heavy machine guns at the heights of Ali al-Taher, while Israeli artillery targeted the area with phosphorus shells, Al Mayadeen reported. ​ The attacks came hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened Lebanon and accused Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire by attacking Israeli forces inside the so-called “Yellow Line.” ​ Netanyahu claimed that the Israeli military was continuing its operations in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip in accordance with political directives. ​ He said the regime’s forces were acting to remove what he called threats from Lebanon and Gaza. ​ Hezbollah has been accused by Israel of violating the ceasefire, while Lebanon and Hezbollah have repeatedly condemned Israeli attacks and violations of the truce. ​ The latest strikes come amid continuing tensions in southern Lebanon despite the ceasefire and a framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel. 📲 ​
