BEIRUT, May 29 – Two people were killed on Thursday in Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon, the country’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported.
According to the report, an Israeli drone targeted the entrance of the Ali Al-Taher forest in the hills of Nabatieh Fawqa, killing municipal employee Mahmoud Atwi while he was riding a motorcycle on the way to perform duties.
Another person was killed from Israeli gunfire on the village of Kafr Kila, according to the NNA.
Since Nov. 27, 2024, a ceasefire agreement has been in effect between Hezbollah and Israel, ending the hostilities triggered by the Israel-Hamas conflict in the Gaza Strip.
Despite the agreement, the Israeli army occasionally carries out strikes in Lebanon, claiming they are aimed at eliminating Hezbollah “threats.” Israel has also maintained a military presence at five key positions along the Lebanese border, even after the February 18 deadline for its full withdrawal.
