Israeli bombardment reported in south Lebanon
Lebanon’s National News Agency reports that the Israeli army has shelled an area on the outskirts of the village of Kfar Shuba, which borders Syria’s occupied Golan Heights, Al Jazeera reports.
An armoured Israeli force also advanced towards Maroun al-Ras near the town of Bint Jbeil in violation of the fragile ceasefire reached with Hezbollah in November, the agency said.
Hezbollah has said that it is giving the Lebanese government space to address Israel’s breaches through diplomatic channels, but the group’s leaders have warned that it may eventually respond to Israel’s attacks.
The ceasefire deal stipulates that Israeli troops must fully withdraw from Lebanon by January 25.
