Hezbollah condemned the Israeli army's attack on civilians in the southern Lebanese city of Nabatiyeh. The party stated the attack was a 'clear violation' of the ceasefire agreement.
Details of the attack
According to a statement by Hezbollah, Israeli soldiers opened fire with machine guns from between houses at a group of civilians in Nabatiyeh's Deyr neighborhood who were busy clearing roads and retrieving bodies from under rubble. Two civilians, including a municipal worker, were killed in this attack, and several others were wounded.
The Lebanese official news agency had previously announced that the Israeli army opened fire on people conducting road clearance work in the town of Upper Nabatiyeh, killing two and wounding one in that attack.
Israeli claims and other incidents
The Israeli army claimed in a statement that its forces detected an 'armed cell' near their position in the security zone near the 'Ali Tahir' hills. According to the claim, an attack was launched north of the area to neutralize this threat.
In another violation, Israeli soldiers opened fire on residents of the town of Hadatha who were heading to a cemetery for a funeral under the escort of the Lebanese army. Furthermore, three 'Merkava' tanks and a 'D9' type bulldozer were observed deployed near the town's cemetery.
Elsewhere, sound bombs were dropped by Israel near the town of Ayta el-Jebel.
Ceasefire status and background
According to Anadolu Agency's observations, no Israeli airstrike on Lebanon has been recorded since Sunday, and Hezbollah has not announced any operations against the Israeli army.
The US-Iran agreement entered into force on June 18, 2026, after being electronically signed by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump. The agreement includes a clause stipulating respect for Lebanon's unity and territorial integrity.
Israel has occupied some areas in southern Lebanon for decades, and others since the 2023-2024 war. During Israel's attack on Lebanon, it advanced up to 10 kilometers into Lebanese territory.
