Israel Attacks Civilian Home in Northern Lebanon as Ceasefire Violations Spread

In the two weeks since the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire went into effect, Israel has launched an ever growing number of attacks against southern Lebanon. These attacks have killed dozens of people, mostly civilians. Until today, these violations have been almost exclusively along the southern border.

Overnight, Israel carried out an airstrike against a three-story civilian home in northern Lebanon’s Akkar Province. Strikes this far north have been unusual, though not unheard of, even before the ceasefire. Israel has provided no indication why it attacked this particular home.

The bomb didn’t explode as intended, and crashed unexploded into the building, causing considerable damage. Civilian homes were also destroyed in Israeli attacks further south, including in the village of Khiyyam.
