Israel launches fresh airstrikes, artillery attacks on southern Lebanon

Israeli forces launched fresh airstrikes and artillery attacks on several areas of southern Lebanon on Sunday, according to the state-run National News Agency (NNA).

Israeli warplanes struck the Ali al-Taher forest on the outskirts of Nabatieh al-Fawqa before carrying out another strike on the town less than 15 minutes later.

The aircraft then launched two consecutive strikes on Kfar Tebnit, followed by a third strike on the town less than half an hour later.

Another Israeli airstrike targeted the vicinity of al-Dabsha hill on the outskirts of Nabatieh al-Fawqa, while Zawtar al-Sharqiyah came under Israeli artillery fire.

No immediate information was available on casualties or damage.

The attacks come amid continued Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon despite diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions and reach a settlement.
