A fragile ten-day ceasefire has effectively collapsed after a series of Israeli air and drone strikes targeted multiple towns across southern Lebanon. According to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA), strikes were reported in Sohmor, Shamaa in the Tyre district, Taybeh, and areas between Al-Qusayr and Al-Qantara in Marjayoun. A drone strike near the Litani River in Qaqaiyat al-Jisr was also confirmed, though no casualties were immediately reported in that incident. However, other early morning strikes around 3:30 AM allegedly resulted in civilian deaths, with claims emerging that non-combatant areas were hit. In Sohmor alone, over 140 homes were reportedly damaged or destroyed. Mayor Iskandar Barake has called for unity as the town reels from widespread devastation. WATCH
