Nabatieh: Israeli forces have launched airstrikes as well as artillery and heavy-machine-gun fire against areas in southern Lebanon's Nabatieh district, using phosphorus shells. According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Al Mayadeen network's correspondent in southern Lebanon reported that Israeli warplanes targeted an area between Ali al-Taher and al-Dabsha in the Nabatieh district. Israeli occupation forces simultaneously fired heavy machine guns at the heights of Ali al-Taher, while Israeli artillery targeted the area with phosphorus shells, Al Mayadeen reported. The attacks came hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened Lebanon and accused Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire by attacking Israeli forces inside the so-called 'Yellow Line.' Netanyahu claimed that the Israeli military was continuing its operations in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip in accordance with political directives. He said the regime's forces were acting to remove what he called threats from Lebanon and Gaza. Hezbo llah has been accused by Israel of violating the ceasefire, while Lebanon and Hezbollah have repeatedly condemned Israeli attacks and violations of the truce. The latest strikes come amid continuing tensions in southern Lebanon despite the ceasefire and a framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel.
