Israel carries out fresh attacks on Lebanon despite truce extension

Israel carried out air strikes and artillery shelling across southern Lebanon early on Friday despite the extension of a ceasefire announced just hours earlier, Lebanon’s National News Agency reported.

Israeli fighter jets struck a house in the town of Touline in the Marjayoun district at dawn, followed by artillery shelling in the area.

Additional air strikes targeted the town of Kherbet Selm, the agency said.

In the Tyre district, Israeli aircraft carried out raids on the outskirts of Majdal Zoun, while overnight strikes also hit the Rihan heights in the Jezzine area.

The attacks came hours after US President Donald Trump announced that a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon had been extended by three weeks following ambassador-level talks at the White House.
