The Israeli army attacked the entrance to the southern Lebanese town of Kafra early Monday and cut off the road leading to the town, despite a ceasefire, Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported.
For its part, the Israeli army said air raid sirens blared in northern Israel, including in the Arab al-Aramshe area, due to what it called a “hostile aircraft infiltration.”
On Sunday, at least 14 people, including two children, were killed and 37 others injured in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting multiple areas in southern Lebanon, marking an escalation since the ceasefire took effect.
The figures were reported by the Lebanese Health Ministry and the NNA, which also said the Israeli army carried out demolitions targeting homes and infrastructure between the towns of Yaroun and Bint Jbeil in the south.
Israel has pounded Lebanon with airstrikes and launched a ground offensive in the south since a cross-border attack by Hezbollah on March 2. The region has been on alert since the US and Israel launched an air offensive on Iran on Feb. 28.
Since March 2, expanded Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed more than 2,500 people and displaced over 1 million, according to Lebanese authorities.
A 10-day truce was first announced on April 16 but was repeatedly breached by Israel.
On Thursday, US President Donald Trump said Israel and Lebanon agreed to extend their ceasefire by three weeks following a second round of high-level negotiations at the White House.
