Israeli colony proceeds assault on Lebanon


(MENAFN) As tensions escalate in the region, the Israeli entity persists in its attacks on villages and towns in southern Lebanon, exacerbating an already volatile situation. Reports from the Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) detail the relentless assault by the Israeli Occupation army, with artillery shelling striking the Tallet al Sanobar area between Hamames and Khiam towns in the early hours, igniting fires and causing significant damage. The outskirts of Naqoura also bore the brunt of heavy artillery fire.

In a night marked by relentless aggression, Israeli warplanes carried out raids on the outskirts of Hanaouay, Ramyah, and Baraachit, leaving behind a trail of destruction, with properties, infrastructure, and uninhabited homes severely affected. The continuous firing of flares over border villages adjacent to the Blue Line only adds to the atmosphere of fear and uncertainty gripping the region.

Moreover, reconnaissance aircraft have been spotted flying over the villages of Tyre and Bint Jbeil districts, heightening anxieties among local residents. This sustained aggression comes amidst the backdrop of Israel's ongoing assault on the Gaza Strip since October 7, a campaign that has claimed the lives of civilians, caused injuries, and displaced hundreds of families.

The Israeli entity's escalation against towns and villages in southern Lebanon underscores the urgent need for international intervention to de-escalate tensions and prevent further loss of life and displacement. The indiscriminate nature of these attacks exacerbates the humanitarian crisis in the region, leaving communities devastated and vulnerable.

As the international community closely monitors the situation, calls for restraint and a return to dialogue grow louder. The escalation of violence only serves to deepen the wounds of conflict and perpetuate cycles of retaliation and suffering. It is imperative for all parties involved to prioritize diplomacy and seek peaceful resolutions to the underlying grievances fuelling this cycle of violence.

In the face of escalating hostilities, the plight of civilians caught in the crossfire cannot be overlooked. Humanitarian organizations must be allowed unhindered access to provide assistance to those in need, and efforts to address the root causes of the conflict must be intensified. Only through a concerted and genuine commitment to peace and justice can the cycle of violence be broken, and a sustainable resolution to the longstanding tensions in the region be achieved.
