Zionist Drone Strike Kills Bike Rider in Southern Lebanon Despite Ceasefire
BEIRUT (Dispatches) – One person was killed in a new drone strike by the Zionist regime in southern Lebanon on Sunday, the latest violation of a ceasefire agreement, Lebanese media reported.
A drone fired a missile at a motorcycle on a road between Chehabieh and Kfar Dounine, near Tyre, killing one person, the state news agency NNA reported.
There was no comment from the Israeli side on the attack.
Zionist troops have conducted near-daily attacks in southern Lebanon, claiming to target Hezbollah’s activities despite a ceasefire between the occupying regime and Lebanon reached last November. The truce ended months of cross-border warfare between Israel and Hezbollah, which escalated into a full-scale conflict in September.
Lebanese authorities have reported nearly 3,000 Israeli violations of the truce, including the deaths of over 200 people and injuries to more than 500 since last November.
Under the ceasefire deal, the Zionist regime was supposed to fully withdraw from southern Lebanon by Jan. 26, but the deadline was extended to Feb. 18 after Israel refused to comply. Israel still maintains a military presence at five border outposts.
Lebanon warned all citizens on Saturday, particularly influential figures, artists and journalists, to avoid any form of “direct or indirect” communication with Israeli army spokespersons or affiliated media outlets, regardless of the reason, Anadolu reports.
The Information Ministry issued a statement following the release of a video message by Lebanese actress Nadine al-Rassi that was addressed to Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee, Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported.
The statement warned all citizens against interaction, whether direct or indirect, with Israeli military representatives or associated media.
It underlined that the interactions constitute a clear violation of Lebanese laws, particularly those related to the boycott of Israel.
The ministry noted that false news and anonymous voice messages have been spreading on social media to create confusion and unrest among the Lebanese public.
