Further Israeli occupation attacks in southern Lebanon despite framework agreement

This picture taken from an area on the outskirts of the southern Lebanese city of Tyre shows smoke rising from the site of an Israeli airstrike that targeted the nearby area of al-Mansouri on September 2, 2026. Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war on March 2, when pro-Iran Hezbollah launched rockets towards Israel in response to US-Israeli strikes that killed Iranian supreme leader on February 28, 2026. Despite a November 2024 ceasefire that was supposed to end more than a year of hostilities between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah group, Israel has kept up strikes on Lebanon and has maintained troops in areas in southern Lebanon it deems strategic.

Israeli occupation forces have carried out further attacks in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese field sources, amid continued tensions despite a US-backed framework agreement between Beirut and Israel.

The sources said Israeli forces carried out explosions in the areas of Kfar Tebnit and Houla.

An Israeli drone also carried out a strike on the Al Deir neighborhood in Nabatieh Al Fawqa, the sources said.

Lebanon and the Israeli occupation signed a US-brokered framework agreement at the end of June covering security arrangements and the redeployment of the Lebanese army in the south.

The agreement also includes measures aimed at rebuilding damaged areas and supporting Lebanon’s economic recovery. However, most of its provisions have yet to be implemented.
