The Israeli army conducted a series of airstrikes overnight targeting areas in eastern and southern Lebanon, once again violating the ceasefire agreement between the two sides.

According to Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA), Israeli warplanes carried out four consecutive strikes on the outskirts of Shmustar town in eastern Lebanon, near the town of Taraya west of Baalbek, in the early hours of Friday.

Simultaneously, Israeli air raids targeted several locations in southern Lebanon, including two strikes on the town of Bnaafoul.

The news agency also reported Israeli strikes on several other areas in the Bint Jbeil district.

Neither the NNA nor the Lebanese Health Ministry reported any casualties from the attacks.

Israeli forces have conducted near-daily attacks in southern Lebanon, claiming to target Hezbollah’s activities despite a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon reached last November. The truce ended months of cross-border warfare between Israel and Hezbollah, which escalated into a full-scale conflict in September.

Lebanese authorities have reported nearly 3,000 Israeli violations of the truce, including the deaths of over 200 people and injuries to at least 500 since last November.

Under the ceasefire deal, Israel was supposed to fully withdraw from southern Lebanon by Jan. 26, but the deadline was extended to Feb. 18 after Israel refused to comply. Israel still maintains a military presence at five border outposts.
