Israeli Occupation Forces Breach Blue Line Again, Escalating Ceasefire Violations in Lebanon
The Israeli occupation forces once again violated the UN-demarcated Blue Line on Wednesday morning, as over 50 Zionist soldiers, accompanied by two military bulldozers, crossed into Lebanese territory at the 'Bir Shouaib' area east of the southern town of Blida.
The troops began excavation work at the same site where a similar breach occurred ten days ago—an incursion that was fully cleared by the Lebanese Army at the time.
This latest violation came just hours after Israeli forces withdrew from Lebanese areas near Mais Al-Jabal and Blida.
It was soon revealed that bulldozers had dug two large trenches and erected earth mounds in both 'Kroum Al-Mrah,' east of Mays El Jabal, and 'Bir Shouaib,' east of Blida—a clear continuation of Zionist desperate efforts to entrench control over Lebanese frontier areas.

Sustained Violations of UN Resolution 1701
These actions constitute a documented breach of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 war and obligates respect for the delineated border.
Additionally, the escalations form part of a broader pattern of violations by Israeli occupation forces since the internationally brokered ceasefire took effect in November 2024.
Despite Lebanon's restraint and continued coordination with UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon), the occupation has persisted with limited incursions, earthworks, surveillance deployments, sporadic gunfire, and intensive aerial reconnaissance over southern Lebanon.

Israeli drone strike kills one, wounds 3 in Beit Lif
by Naharnet Newsdesk 8 hours One person was killed on Wednesday in an Israeli strike on a village in southern Lebanon, the health ministry and Israel's military said, the latest deadly attack since a November ceasefire. "The raid carried out by an enemy Israeli drone on the town of Beit Lif, in the Bint Jbeil district, resulted in one martyr and three people injured," read a statement from the ministry. The official National News Agency said the strike targeted the courtyard of a house in the town, adding that a missile hit the homeowner's car. The Israeli military later confirmed the attack, saying in a brief statement that it had "struck and eliminated a Hezbollah 'Radwan Force' terrorist in the area of Beit Lif in southern Lebanon". Israel has regularly bombed its northern neighbor since the November ceasefire that sought to end more than a year of hostilities with militant group Hezbollah, including two months of full-blown war. The agreement required Hezbollah fighters to withdraw north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometers from the Israeli border, and dismantle all military infrastructure to its south. It also required Israel to withdraw its troops from Lebanon, but it has kept them in five positions it deems "strategic".

Le Drian meets Hezbollah's Raad, both support UNIFIL mandate renewal
by Naharnet Newsdesk 6 hours French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian met Wednesday with Hezbollah lawmaker Mohammad Raad in Haret Hreik. Le Drian also met on Tuesday and Wednesday with President Joseph Aoun, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil, Kataeb leader Sami Gemayel, and former PSP leader Walid Jumblat. Le Drian and Raad discussed the repeated Israeli attacks on Lebanon despite the ceasefire agreement reached in late November. They both said they supported the renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). As Le Drian visited Lebanon, United Nations peacekeepers said rock-throwing individuals confronted them during a patrol in south Lebanon, calling repeated targeting of their troops "unacceptable". Lebanese leaders, including Aoun, Salam, and Berri condemned the attacks on UNIFIL patrols. Israel also struck south Lebanon on Tuesday and Wednesday, killing three people. Le Drian said France is working on organizing a conference for the reconstruction of war-hit Lebanese regions and renewing the UNIFIL's mandate, as Raad said his party is keen on discussing reforms in parliament.

Lebanese Army inspects building in Dahieh
by Naharnet Newsdesk 4 hours The Lebanese Army headed Thursday to Beirut's southern suburbs to inspect a building at the request of the five-member committee supervising the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, media reports said. On Wednesday, Army forces bulldozed the site of a building they had searched Tuesday at the request of the committee in the densely populated Sainte-Therese street in Hadath in Beirut's southern suburbs. The building had been targeted by an Israeli strike during the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war. On Friday, Israel warned that it would keep up its strikes on Hezbollah targets across Lebanon, after it struck four locations in Dahieh on the eve of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. The Lebanese army condemned the airstrikes, warning that such attacks are weakening the role of Lebanon's armed forces that might eventually suspend cooperation with the committee monitoring the truce that ended the Israel-Hezbollah war. It said it had tried to convince Israel not to carry out the strikes and to instead let Lebanese officials go in to search the area under the mechanism laid out in the ceasefire agreement, but that the Israeli army refused, so Lebanese soldiers moved away from the locations after they were sent.
