Three Israeli airstrikes target outskirts of Brital
2025-05-27
[NAHARNET] Israeli warplanes on Monday carried out three Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s on the Sraj area in the outskirts of the Baalbek district town of Brital, the state-run National News Agency said.

Two people were maimed in overnight strikes on the southern towns of Beit Leef and Majdal Zoun, the Health Ministry said Monday.

Israel has continued to launch near-daily airstrikes in southern and eastern Leb

and sometimes in Beirut's suburbs despite a November 27 truce that sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah including two months of full-blown war.

Under the terms of the ceasefire deal, the only armed bodies in southern Lebanon are meant to be U.N. peacekeepers and Lebanon's army, though Israel has retained its forces in five areas it has declared strategic.

Speaking Sunday on the anniversary of Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000, Hezbollah leader Sheikh Naim Qassem
... the Grand Vizier of the Hezbullies...
reiterated the Lebanese group's stance that it will not discuss giving up its remaining weapons until Israel withdraws from the five border points it occupies in southern Lebanon and stops its airstrikes.
More airstrikes to come, then. Your choice.
"We adhered completely" to the agreement, Qassem said, adding: "Don't ask us for anything else from now on. Let Israel withdraw, stop its aggression, release the prisoners and fulfill all obligations under the agreement. After that, we will discuss each new development."
If only Hezbollah didn’t keep sending out teams to set up new outposts south of the Litani River in contravention of the ceasefire, and legitimate targets like arms caches were not carefully hidden in the marked places in IDF maps for resuming war with Israel north of it…
The Times of Israel adds:
Lebanese media reports an Israeli airstrike near the village of Brital in the northeastern Beqaa Valley.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
