The Israeli army committed at least three more violations Friday to a cease-fire that took effect last month to end the year-long fighting between the Israeli army and Hezbollah.
The official Lebanese National News Agency (NNA said the Israeli army blew up several homes in the neighborhood of Naqoura town in southern Lebanon.
It added that Israeli forces opened gun machines toward the valleys located between the Qabrikha area and near the town of Al-Ghandourieh in southern Lebanon.
The Lebanese broadcaster reported more explosive operations to several houses and properties in Yaroun town of the southern Bint Jbeil district.
Since the cease-fire was declared Nov. 27, the number of Israeli violations has risen to 262, with 31 people killed and 37 injured during incidents.
Israel is required to withdraw forces south of the Blue Line -- a de facto border -- in phases, while the Lebanese army is to deploy in southern Lebanon within 60 days, under the cease-fire terms.
The US and France are responsible for overseeing the agreement's implementation, but details on enforcement mechanisms are unclear.
More than 4,000 victims have been killed and over 16,500 injured in Israeli attacks in Lebanon. An excess of 1 million others have been displaced since October 2023, according to Lebanese health authorities.
