Shafaq News/ Israel intercepted a drone belonging to
Hezbollah launched towards Israeli territory, the Israeli army announced on
Thursday.

The army did not detail in its statement whether the
interception occurred in Lebanese airspace or after the drone crossed the
border, noting that no sirens were sounded in northern Israel.

On Wednesday, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, 36
people were also injured in two Israeli airstrikes on Nabatieh, a major city in
southern Lebanon, where the Israeli army stated that it had targeted vehicles transporting
weapons belonging to Hezbollah.

The ministry also reported that Israeli forces killed at
least 24 people and injured 141 in southern Lebanon on Sunday and Monday, in
addition to 49 others injured during the last few days, as thousands of people are
still attempting to return to their homes in defiance of Israeli military
orders.

The Israeli military had initially been expected to complete
its withdrawal by Sunday, marking the end of the ceasefire’s first 60-day phase
between Israel and Hezbollah.

However, Israel has not yet fully withdrawn its forces from
southern Lebanon, stating it will continue to act “against any threat to its
security and citizens.”

For his part, Hezbollah’s Secretary-General, Naeem Qassem, rejected
on Monday the justification for the deadline extension, emphasizing that “the
resistance has the right to act against the occupation on its terms.”

Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, urged US
General Jasper Jeffers, head of the ceasefire monitoring committee, to pressure
Israel into adhering to the agreement under international law.
