Israel strikes Baraashit, Nabatieh al-Fawqa and Beit Yahoun in south Lebanon
Israeli warplanes targeted Nabatieh al-Fawqa and the outskirts of Baraashit and Beit Yahoun in southern Lebanon on Thursday, while artillery shelled Rshaf.
The National News Agency said two strikes targeted Nabatieh al-Fawqa and a third strike targeted Ali al-Taher hill on the outskirts of the town.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces set fire to homes and land on the outskirts of Beit Yahoun.
The strikes follow an announcement by the Israeli military on Wednesday claiming it killed three Hezbollah members in the border village.
Lebanon and Israel announced a framework agreement on June 26, laying out a plan for Israeli forces to withdraw from southern Lebanon, in exchange for the disarmament of Hezbollah. It also envisions steps toward an eventual peace agreement.
Despite a ceasefire, Israel still launches occasional strikes in southern Lebanon and carries out detonations in villages it occupies near the border.
