The Israeli army continues its artillery shelling and home demolitions in towns across southern Lebanon, particularly in the Nabatieh and Marjayoun districts, Lebanon's official National News Agency reported.
The agency reported that Israeli forces continue to burn homes in the Nabatieh district town of Zawtar al-Sharqiya and demolish their foundations and roofs with bulldozers. Intermittent shelling also hit residential areas and wooded areas between Mifdoun, Zawtar al-Sharqiya and Nabatieh al-Fawqa.
Airstrikes, explosions and gunfire
The agency said Israeli warplanes carried out two airstrikes on Kfar Tibnit, while large explosions were heard between Zawtar al-Sharqiya, Zawtar al-Gharbiyya and Qantara. In the Marjayoun district, Israeli artillery shelled the outskirts of Majdal Selm and Wadi al-Salouqi and fired heavy machine guns toward Wadi al-Hujeir and the outskirts of Qabrikha.
The agency reported that the Israeli army released Nakd Basharat, a resident of Deir Mimas, early Sunday after detaining and interrogating him for two days.
Violations despite the framework agreement
These attacks continue despite the framework agreement signed by Beirut and Tel Aviv under U.S. mediation on June 26, 2026. The agreement calls for Israel's gradual withdrawal from the areas it occupies, the deployment of the Lebanese army there and its assumption of security responsibility.
Israel has occupied areas in southern Lebanon for decades, in addition to areas it seized during its ground operation in 2023 and 2024, when it advanced up to about 10 kilometers into Lebanese territory. Israel still holds those areas today.
