EU condemns “Israeli” strikes in Lebanon amid ongoing ceasefire violations
The European Union on Saturday condemned “Israeli” strikes in southern Lebanon and asked it to respect a ceasefire with Hezbollah.
“The EU calls on Israel to cease all actions that violate resolution 1701 and the ceasefire agreement reached a year ago in November 2024,” the EU’s foreign affairs spokesman Anouar El Anouni stated.
On Saturday, seven people were injured when an “Israeli” drone struck a vehicle in Bint Jbeil, southern Lebanon, in a new violation of the ceasefire.
The drone launched two guided missiles targeting a car near Salah Ghandour Hospital in the city of Bint Jbeil, in Nabatieh Governorate, according to the National News Agency NNA.
The agency, citing a Health Ministry statement, said that seven people were wounded, without providing details on their conditions.
The strike comes amid heightened border tensions, as the Zionist forces carried out a series of air raids Thursday on several southern towns after warning residents to evacuate, the broadest such evacuation order since the ceasefire took effect.
The Lebanese army has accused “Israel” of seeking to “undermine Lebanon’s stability” with Thursday’s strikes and to “prevent the completion of the army’s deployment” in line with the ceasefire.
