Israeli military aggression continues in southern Lebanon despite US-Iran accord

Israeli military activity continued across parts of southern Lebanon on Tuesday despite the upcoming signing of a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran.

According to reports from the ground, several deaths were recorded in the Nabatieh district, where Israeli drone strikes and military operations have intensified in recent weeks.

Al Jazeera reported that the town of Mayfadoun was among the areas reportedly targeted, with several people killed in drone attacks.

The report said that Israeli forces have continued to hold positions and expand operations around Nabatieh, including efforts to secure elevated terrain near the city.

The activity has persisted despite Hezbollah's assertion that it received assurances from Iran that an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon would form part of a final US-Iran agreement.
