The Lebanese army reported that one of its soldiers was injured due to an Israeli drone strike in eastern Lebanon, while the body of an officer killed in a previous Israeli attack was discovered in Naqoura. The incident highlights ongoing tensions and violations of the fragile ceasefire agreement that has been in place since November 27, 2023. The ceasefire was established to halt mutual shelling between Hezbollah and Israel, which escalated into open conflict over the past two months. Despite the ceasefire, the Israeli army has continued to conduct operations, resulting in multiple violations and casualties among Lebanese forces.
The Lebanese army's statement indicated that the soldier was injured while working on fortifications at the Al-Abbara military center. The officer's body was found in his vehicle, with the army losing contact with him on November 26. The army is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding his death. Additionally, the Israeli army has reportedly opened fire on civilian homes in Naqoura, further exacerbating tensions in the region.
