Israeli forces have launched intermittent artillery fire and airstrikes on towns in southern Lebanon, including Zoutr El-Charkiya, Mifdoun, and Nabatiye El-Fouqa. The attacks have resulted in significant damage and casualties. According to Lebanese authorities, the Israeli aggression, which began on March 2, has so far killed at least 4,386 people and injured 12,407 others, with over a million displaced.
The Lebanese National News Agency reported that the town of Al-Habariya in the Erqob region of Hasbaya district came under Israeli artillery fire, coinciding with a large-scale search operation by Israeli forces using heavy machine guns and the movement of Israeli military vehicles in the area. The attacks have caused widespread destruction and fear among local residents.
In the Nabatiye district, an Israeli drone struck the area between the towns of Kfar Tebnit and Nabatiye El-Fouqa, simultaneously with intermittent artillery fire targeting the outskirts of Kfar Tebnit. The Israeli military also targeted Wadi Al-Hajir during the night. The attacks have left many residents without access to basic necessities.
The Israeli military has also been active in the Tyre district, where artillery fire has targeted the town of Majdal Zun and its surrounding valleys.

Despite the signing of a framework agreement on June 26, which includes a gradual Israeli withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territories, the Israeli military continues its aggression.

However, the continued violence raises questions about the implementation of the agreement.
