Sunday on Sunday, the Israeli army declared in a declaration that had also hit in the southern Lebanon and killed an Hezbollah agent that “he advanced Hezbollah attempts to restore” in the area.
Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, the main United Nations official in Lebanon, criticized the attack near the capital on Sunday. “Today's strike in the southern suburbs of Beirut has generated panic and fear of renewing violence between those who despair for a return to normal,” he said on social media, urging “all the parts to stop any action that could further undermine the fire.”
While the Israeli military continued to hit southern Lebanon with a certain frequency since the ceased the fire entered into force, the attacks near Beirut had stopped until about a month ago. At the end of March, Israel hit near the capital after a rocket was shot against Israel, pushing the fears that the ceased the fire could reveal.
Hezbollah began to shoot rockets in Israel from Lebanon shortly after Hamas, his ally, led a bloody attack from the Gaza Strip on 7 October 2023, unleashing the war in Gaza. After almost a year of low -level violence between Israel and Hezbollah, even that conflict intensified in a vast scale war, including an Israeli -land invasion in Lebanon.
This month Morgan Ortotus, deputy correspondent of the Middle East of President Trump, visited Lebanon to discuss the reconstruction needs of the ceased and of Lebanon. Total damage and economic loss from the war are estimated at $ 14 billion and Lebanon needs $ 11 billion to reconstruct, said the World Bank last month, making the conflict more destructive in the country from its long civil war which ended in 1990.
The Lebanese government has undertaken to bring all the weapons to the country under its control, including those belonging to the militants, but it is not clear when – and how – it could do it. Hezbollah has been seriously weakened in the conflict but still has a significant influence in Lebanon. The militant group said that the fire with Israel remains engaged in the cease.
