Israeli Strikes Kill Two in South Lebanon as Truce Monitors Convene

Ongoing Israeli operations complicate Lebanon’s move to a new LAF-led disarmament phase.

Overview

  • Lebanon’s NNA reported two fatalities after an Israeli strike on a house in Kfar Dunin, which the Israeli military said targeted Hezbollah operatives.
  • A ceasefire monitoring committee including France, Israel, Lebanon, the United States and UNIFIL was set to meet Wednesday, as the UN reported strikes close to peacekeepers.
  • Since the 2024 truce, UNIFIL has recorded more than 10,000 violations, and reporting counts over 300 people killed in Lebanon by Israeli attacks.
  • The UN said recent strikes occurred north of the Litani River and direct fire was observed near UN positions, with fighter aircraft active over UNIFIL areas.
  • Lebanon’s cabinet will discuss phase two of the LAF disarmament plan, while Hezbollah leaders reject disarmament and analysts warn continued Israeli attacks risk derailing it.
