Lebanese media on Monday reported four more Israeli violations of the cease-fire deal between Beirut and Tel Aviv.

The state news agency NNA said that an Israeli reconnaissance plane flew at low altitude over the southern city of Tyre.

Israeli army forces blew up several homes in the town of Aita ash-Shaab in southern Lebanon, the same source said.

Israeli soldiers also staged a large-scale search operation in the town of Khiam, while military vehicles were reported to be advancing into the town of Meiss El-Jabal, NNA said.

The Lebanese army forces were scheduled to be deployed in Meiss El-Jabal on Monday, but the move was postponed to a later time.

Lebanon and Israel reached a cease-fire deal on Nov. 27 to end over 14 months of fighting between the Israeli army and the Hezbollah group since the start of the Gaza war.

Lebanese authorities have reported, however, more than 470 Israeli violations of the cease-fire, including the death of 32 people and injury of 39 others.

Under the cease-fire terms, Israel is required to withdraw its forces south of the Blue Line – a de facto border – in phases, while the Lebanese army is to deploy in southern Lebanon within 60 days.

Data from the Lebanese Health Ministry indicates that since Israel’s onslaught against Lebanon began on Oct. 8, 2023, at least 4,068 people have been killed, including women, children, and health workers, while 16,668 others have been injured.
