A new Israeli warning to evacuate the towns of Jibshit and Sarifa in southern Lebanon in the context of Israel's ongoing war against Lebanon, in flagrant violation of the previously announced ceasefire agreement in Lebanon.
Lebanese media sources said that the Israeli raids did not stop throughout the night and at dawn today, and led to the death and injury of dozens, especially in the villages and towns south of Lebanon.
The Ministry of Health recorded 17 deaths in 24 hours, bringing the total toll to 2,696 dead and 8,264 wounded since the start of the aggression.
According to Lebanese media , it is striking that the two targets focus on the health sector, where medical teams were subjected to 132 attacks, which resulted in the death of 103 paramedics and damage to 25 health centers and 16 hospitals, which led to 3 of them being completely out of service.
On Monday, the occupation army warned the residents of six villages (Nabatieh, Al-Fuqa, Mifdoun, Qalawiya, Burj Qalawiya, Al-Majadil, and Sarifa) to immediately evacuate in preparation for intensive raids, alleging violations of the ceasefire agreement.
Hezbollah responds
In response to the Israeli violations, the Lebanese Hezbollah carried out 11 operations targeting Israeli gatherings, most notably a direct clash from "Zero Distance" in the Khallet al-Raj area, which resulted in confirmed casualties in the ranks of a force from the "Golani" Brigade, while the Israeli army admitted to moderately wounding two soldiers.
Baabda and US Pressure: A Security Agreement First
Politically, and under intensive American mediation, Lebanese President JosephF. Aoun stressed in statements carried by Lebanese media the need to reach a clear security agreement and stop the attacks before engaging in any possible meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Despite the pressure exerted by the US ambassador in Beirut to hold a meeting in Washington under the auspices of President Donald Trump, President Aoun stressed that the meetings must be based on solid foundations, while considering that the negotiation track in Washington is an "important achievement" that is irreplaceable to protect Lebanese interests.
Hizbullah Secretary-General Naim Qassem expressed support for the "indirect negotiation diplomacy" aimed at stopping the aggression, but stressed that what is currently taking place is an ongoing aggression that does not respect the ceasefire agreements.
Qassem stressed that Lebanon is the party that needs security guarantees, declaring its categorical rejection of imposing any "buffer zones" or red lines that restrict the resistance movement in defending Lebanese territory.
Upcoming round of negotiations in Washington
On the flip side of the talks, Beirut and Tel Aviv are preparing for a third round of direct ambassadorial-level negotiations in Washington next week.
Through this tour, the US administration seeks to converge views and stabilize security pillars that prevent the region from sliding towards an all-out war, at a time when the US mediator sees President Aoun's meeting with Trump and Netanyahu as an opportunity to present the Lebanese position "with honor and strength" to the international community.
