The Israel occupation forces continued to violate the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon and Hezbollah over the past 24 hours, committing 11 new violations, the Palestinian Information Centre has reported.

The National News Agency said that the occupation army is persisting in its aggression against the properties and livelihoods of Lebanese citizens. Early this morning, Thursday, they set fire to a poultry farm near Tal Nahas – Deir Mimass.

The agency noted that the outskirts of the town of Shebaa, in southern Lebanon, are subjected to artillery shelling by the occupation forces. An Israeli drone struck a house belonging to the Al-Daoud family in the town of Yahr Al-Shuqif last night with a guided missile. The house was also destroyed in an earlier Israeli attack on Lebanon.

The occupation forces were reported to be continuing to burn, demolish and blow up houses in the Ras Al-Dahr area west of the town of Mays Al-Jabal. They also fired a hail of bullets at one of the houses in the border town of Ramish, resulting in no casualties but causing material damage to the building. They targeted Lebanese citizens and an ambulance belonging to the Islamic Al-Resala Scouts at the entrance to Maroun Al-Ras.

Last night, the occupation forces arrested four citizens who were checking on their home at the outskirts of Maroun Al-Ras, and opened fire on two others who were injured while attempting to enter the town.

According to the Lebanese news agency, the occupation forces advanced 100 metres from the position of the Lebanese army at the western entrance of the town of Mays Al-Jabal.

The agency noted that an Israeli bulldozer was raising mounds of earth in the middle of the road after bypassing the UNIFIL base in the Mafailah neighbourhood. The bulldozer was protected by a Merkava tank. Meanwhile, Israeli drones flew over the Lebanese capital, Beirut, reaching the southern suburbs at low altitude.

According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, the total casualties from the occupation’s latest attacks were five injured in Majdal Selim, two injured in Maroun Al-Ras, and one other who was wounded.
