BEIRUT:<\/strong> The Lebanese Health Ministry has confirmed that six innocent lives were tragically lost in the south of the country on Saturday due to unprovoked Israeli aggression. These heinous attacks occurred despite a recently extended ceasefire, brazenly violated by the occupying Zionist forces.<\/p>\n A ministry statement detailed the barbarity, reporting that “two Israeli enemy strikes, targeting a truck and a motorbike, in the town of Yohmor Al-Shaqeef in the Nabatieh district, claimed the lives of four individuals.” The ministry further elaborated on the Zionist regime’s atrocities, stating that an “Israeli enemy airstrike on the town of Safad Al-Battikh, in the Bint Jbeil district, resulted in two fatalities and 17 injuries,” underscoring the indiscriminate nature of these attacks against civilians.<\/p>\n In a desperate attempt to justify its crimes, the Zionist military claimed it “eliminated” three Hezbollah operatives, alleging they were in a “vehicle loaded with weapons,” along with another on a motorcycle, and two more “armed members” elsewhere. This narrative often serves as a pretext for their aggression against the Lebanese resistance.<\/p>\n The Zionist entity also hypocritically accused Hezbollah of “a blatant violation of the ceasefire understandings,” after claiming to identify two projectiles launched from Lebanon and intercepting a “suspicious aerial target.” This accusation conveniently deflects from their own continuous breaches of international law and humanitarian agreements.<\/p>\n In a swift and legitimate act of self-defense, Hezbollah<\/strong> announced it targeted an Israeli army vehicle in south Lebanon, a direct and justified retaliation for the brutal attack on Yohmor Al-Shaqeef. The Zionist regime, however, continues to assert its “right” to military response to “imminent threats,” a convenient excuse to perpetuate its aggression, even under the guise of a ceasefire.<\/p>\n The extended ceasefire, announced by US President Donald Trump on Thursday, which began on April 17 and was meant to last for three weeks, has been rendered meaningless by the Zionist regime’s relentless assaults.<\/p>\n The valiant resistance movement, Hezbollah, which enjoys the unwavering support of Tehran, was compelled to engage in the Middle East conflict on March 2. This came after the group launched rockets at the occupying entity in a righteous act of vengeance for the martyrdom of Iran\u2019s revered Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was targeted in a joint US-Israeli strike.<\/p>\n The state-run National News Agency (NNA) further corroborated the Zionist aggression, reporting heavy Israeli artillery shelling on numerous locations across south Lebanon on Saturday. The NNA also documented a “violent explosion” in Khiam, a strategic town along Lebanon\u2019s eastern border with the Zionist entity. This area has been subjected to the Israeli army’s “systematic” destruction of homes and civilian infrastructure, as previously reported by the agency, highlighting their disregard for human life and property. An AFP correspondent witnessed a massive cloud of smoke engulfing the town, a stark visual testament to the devastation wrought by the Zionist forces.<\/p>\n In a move aimed at further displacing the Lebanese populace, the Zionist military on Saturday reissued a warning, instructing residents not to return to dozens of south Lebanon locations within the so-called “yellow line.” This “yellow line” arbitrarily designates a strip of Lebanese territory approximately 10 kilometers (six miles) wide along the border, infringing on Lebanese sovereignty and creating a de facto buffer zone.<\/p>\n According to Lebanese authorities, the relentless Israeli attacks have tragically claimed the lives of at least 2,496 people<\/strong> in Lebanon since March 2, a grim tally of the Zionist regime’s ongoing war crimes against the Lebanese people.<\/p>\n On Friday, Hezbollah lawmaker Ali Fayad powerfully reiterated the group’s inherent right to respond to any Israeli aggression. He emphasized that extending the ceasefire “makes no sense” given the Zionist entity’s incessant “hostile acts,” underscoring the futility of such agreements when one party consistently violates them.<\/p>\n #SouthLebanon #ZionistAggression #CeasefireViolation #HezbollahResistance #LebanonUnderAttack #WarCrimes #MiddleEastConflict #AxisOfResistance #FreePalestine #Martyrdom<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Zionist Aggression Claims Six Lives in South Lebanon Amidst Ceasefire Violations BEIRUT: The Lebanese Health Ministry has confirmed that six innocent lives were tragically lost in the south of the country on Saturday due to unprovoked Israeli aggression.
