Israeli army fires at towns in southern Lebanon

Israeli artillery targeted a number of towns in southern Lebanon on Thursday in violation of their ceasefire agreement, as Lebanon and Israel meet for a new round of direct talks in Washington.

Israel’s military fired on the towns of Nabatieh al-Fouqa, Kfar Tebnit, Jebchit and Mefdoun and the hills of Ali al-Taher.

Since the conflict restarted on 2 March, almost 3,000 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon.
