Til Aviv(The COW News Digital)Israel has once again breached a ceasefire agreement, launching airstrikes on southern Lebanon today that killed 13 people, the Lebanese Ministry of Health confirmed. The attack targeted an open sports ground used by refugees in the city of Sidon, leaving multiple others injured.
The Israeli military claimed that the targeted location housed Hamas operatives preparing actions against Israel. However, the army has not presented any evidence to support this assertion. In response, Hamas rejected the claims, stating that the strike deliberately targeted civilian areas and was baseless.
This latest attack marks a continuation of hostilities despite a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon signed last year. The breach underscores ongoing tensions in the region and raises concerns about the safety of civilians in border areas.
According to reports, the Israeli airstrike hit a site primarily used by refugees for recreational purposes. The resulting casualties have sparked outrage and condemnation among Lebanese authorities and the international community, highlighting the vulnerability of civilians in conflict zones.

Earlier this month, Israel also conducted a drone strike in southern Lebanon, targeting a vehicle that resulted in four fatalities. These recurring incidents have raised serious questions about Israel’s adherence to previously negotiated agreements aimed at maintaining peace and stability along the border.
Regional analysts warn that repeated violations of ceasefire agreements could escalate tensions, potentially destabilizing the already fragile situation between Israel and Lebanon. They emphasize that attacks on civilian areas may provoke retaliatory actions, further endangering innocent lives.
Lebanese officials have called for urgent international intervention to ensure compliance with the ceasefire and prevent further loss of life. Humanitarian organizations have also raised concerns about the impact of continued military strikes on refugees and displaced populations in the region.
The recent strike in Sidon is part of a broader pattern of Israeli military actions in southern Lebanon, which have intensified in recent months despite diplomatic efforts to enforce peace. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely, urging restraint and adherence to international law.
As investigations and international responses unfold, the focus remains on protecting civilians, preventing escalation, and seeking accountability for violations of the ceasefire agreement.
