UNIFIL says the actions violate Resolution 1701, underscoring renewed strains on Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Overview

  • UNIFIL said a low-flying Israeli drone approached a patrol near Kfarkila and dropped a grenade, followed by tank fire toward the peacekeepers.
  • The mission reported no injuries or equipment damage but condemned the actions as breaching UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
  • Lebanese emergency services said two people were killed in a separate UAV strike near Bayada in southern Lebanon on Monday.
  • The Health Ministry’s emergency center earlier tallied three deaths over the weekend from two southern drone attacks and one strike in eastern Lebanon.
  • Israel says its operations target Hezbollah infrastructure and leadership, while Lebanese officials describe the strikes and Israeli positions in the south, including part of Gajar, as ongoing violations of sovereignty.
