Lebanon’s official news agency NNA reported that Israeli soldiers opened machine-gun fire toward Baraachit, a town in the Bint Jbeil district. A resident who was wounded in the attack died despite medical intervention.

As Israeli army attacks continued in southern Lebanon despite the ceasefire, the Jarmak road in Jezzine district was targeted in an airstrike.

The town of Mansouri, in the Tyre district, came under intermittent artillery fire. 155-millimeter artillery shells were fired around Hadasa in the Bint Jbeil district, while a major explosion also occurred near Qantara in the Marjayoun district.

Ceasefire and toll of attacks in Lebanon

The Israeli army launched intensive airstrikes on Lebanon on March 2 and occupied dozens of towns in the country’s south. The Lebanese government announced that the number of people displaced within the country during this period had exceeded 1 million.

The ceasefire that took effect between Lebanon and Israel on April 17 was later extended several times.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry said that at least 4,383 people had been killed in Israeli attacks on the country since March 2.

Following the fifth round of direct talks held in Washington, Lebanon and Israel signed a framework agreement on June 26.
