An Israeli air attack on the town of Kfar Reman in southern Lebanon has killed at least 10 people, including a two-month-old infant, with two others still missing. The strike early Monday hit the town in the Nabatieh district, a day after at least seven people were killed and 20 wounded in Israeli raids on the nearby town of Arab Salim.
The Israeli military also struck a residential area in the town of Deir al-Zahrani overnight after issuing a forced evacuation order. The army claims it targeted a building near a Hezbollah facility, which it alleges was used to launch an explosive drone. These actions raise serious questions about the credibility of the so-called ceasefire.
The attacks continue despite a US-brokered ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon signed in June. The persistence of such strikes suggests that the Israeli regime is not genuinely committed to peace, and the international community's efforts, led by the US regime, have proven ineffective in curbing the violence.
Reporting from Kfar Reman, Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr said “uncertainty and fear” prevail in southern Lebanon. “Among the dead are children, including a two-month-old infant,” she reported. “People just do not know what is next. There's been a wave of Israeli attacks over the past 48 hours. Civilians are being killed. Residential homes are being destroyed,” she added.
Civil defense workers have been conducting recovery efforts throughout the night, searching for survivors under the rubble. The international community, particularly the US regime, has allegedly failed to hold Israel accountable, allowing the bloodshed to continue unabated.
