A series of Israeli air attacks on Thursday in the south of Lebanon killed a person and left eight others, the Lebanese Ministry of Health reported.
The Israeli army said that it bombarded infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah armed group, which included weapons and tunnel wells as part of an underground network. Israel accused Hezbollah of regrouping and maintaining his infrastructure in violation of a high fire agreement mediated by the United States in November that ended his war with Hezbollah.
Hezbollah did not immediately comment on the attacks near the southern city of Nabatíe, which occurred while the calls increased so that the Lebanese state disarms the powerful group. Hezbollah states that he will not deliver his weapons while Israel controls part of the south of Lebanon and continues to attack deeply into the country. Israel still has control over five points in hills of the Lebanese territory after its land invasion last year.
“The government has not spared or spared efforts to accelerate the Israeli withdrawal from the Lebanese territory,” said Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam to journalists after meeting with officials in the northeastern city of Baalbek.
Hezbollah states that it has been largely disarmed to the south of the Litani River, while Israel says he is trying to regroup.
The National Lebanese news agency reported that public institutions in the area were closed after attacks. The families rushed to schools to take their children home.
Since the high fire entered into force in November, Israeli attacks have continued. Israel has attacked the south of Beirut three times after two rocket attacks from the south of Lebanon that hit Northern Israel, allegedly fired by the Palestinian group Hamás in March.
After their previous war in 2006, Israel and Hezbollah were supposed to retire from the south of Lebanon below the Litani River and would leave it under the exclusive control of the Lebanese army along with the UN blue helmets. That would eventually extend to the rest of the country, with the aim of disarming all non -state groups in Lebanon, including Hezbollah, and ending the Israeli military presence.
