Lebanese sources say Israeli artillery strikes southern Lebanon, violating ceasefire
Reports describe shelling of Wadi Zabqin, Al-Manasouri and other southern locales; notes a broader offensive since March 2
Lebanese sources, via Al-Nashrah as cited by IRNA, report Israeli artillery strikes in southern Lebanon targeting multiple locations as part of a continuing offensive that began on March 2, amid discussion of a US-mediated framework aimed at ending the war but criticized for lack of clarity.
Beirut-based reports, sourced from Lebanese outlets and carried by IRNA citing Al-Nashrah, say Israeli artillery has continued to shell areas in southern Lebanon, breaching the ceasefire. The Lebanese sources mention attacks on Wadi Zabqin and the Al-Manasouri settlement, with other reports listing Brashit, Beit Yahon, Zuţur Sharqi and Wadi Suluki as targets, and describe Israeli shelling near Khiyam. The material characterizes the episode as a broad offensive that began on March 2, and notes casualties and mass displacement, with more than a million reported to be displaced and some areas still reportedly under occupation. Separately, Lebanon and Israel, mediated by the United States, signed a so-called “framework” agreement earlier this month to end the fighting, though critics point to legal ambiguities and the lack of a withdrawal timetable.
